  • BRADEN on Genesis 29 - 10 years ago
    Wondering if Laban was the only one in on this deception. If it wasn't done so in their country, seems Rachel and Leah would know that. In the first seven years, did Jacob not have any conversation with either of them?
  • Ncebakazi on Genesis 29 - 10 years ago
    To Leah she tried all means for the first 3 children to make Jacob love her. But to the fourth one he turned his back to Jacob and praise the Lord. What is important in every situation that you are in, never leave the Lord, or try to impress others. Remember everything is possible in His name.
  • INNOCENT MOMANYI on Genesis 29 - 10 years ago
    God will bless you even if you are despised like Leah!She bore sons
  • Gilbert on Genesis 29:17 - 10 years ago
    Our pastor told is it meant she was blue eyed, and fair complected, which was considered a birth defect among brown eyed, dark skinned people.
  • Fran on Genesis 29 - 10 years ago
    I believe Leah was just plan looking. But God does what he wants to do.They both were important people in the bible. but who would have though that Leah would have been chosen to bring forth the Jesus in he down line. Man looks on the out side but God looks at the heart.

    Judah and Levi are the two tribes that are still recognizable today, they are not among the "lost tribes." So Leah's sons Judah and Levi were extremely important people. Jesus was descended from Judah. Leah was much more blessed than she realized at the time and the trial she went through knowing that her husband loved her sister more was worth it for what her seed brought to the world and I am certain she is also richly blessed in heaven for having been given this honor.
  • Anonymous on Genesis 29:17 - 11 years ago
    I think this statement means the Leah was ugly and at the least unattractive.
  • PENELOPE on Genesis 29 - 11 years ago
    Sound like Leah was beautiful for this day and age.She had more kids than Rachel,so she wasn't to bad looking or acting.
  • Timothy Wayne George on Genesis 29 - 11 years ago
    Well chickens come home to feed.Be not deceived whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. Jacob had deceived his brother, and now he was reaping what he had sowed from uncle Laban. This chapter brings about some important questions, and does God approve of multiple wives? We know in the New Testament God commanded that every man is to have his own wife, and every woman her own husband. These things that happened in the Old Testament are examples to us, and we are to learn from the mistakes that they made by not making them too. A man is to leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife. We see that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah, and this became a point of contention in the family. This is why God commanded one man, and one woman in marriage. When we go outside of the will of God consequences result that cause problems for future generations. God has commanded that all men repent, and follow Jesus. We have the Holy Spirit to give us the victory over the flesh. Faith is our victory over this world. So thank God for your wife, and live joyfully with the wife of thy youth. Wives see to it that you respect your husband.

    And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them].

    I see the symbolism of GOD (the father) telling his son Jesus that the scriptures has not been filled and it is not reaping time, and to go out and feed the children of GOD.
  • Titus on Genesis 29 - 13 years ago
    Annie, hear this, you are made in the image of God. In His eyes, you are more precious than gold. In the eyes of men, beauty lies in their eyes only. Who is beautiful and who is not? Is not the same made them both? One vessel that is less regarded and covered by men is preserved for the most honor. And that which is most visible, is of less honor and of less value. Their is no fat and ugly before my Father...only accepted in the beloved. I love you just as you are.
  • Annie on Genesis 29:17 - 13 years ago
    I have read that Leah was fat or heavy set and can not remember what chapter I had found it. Could help with this?
