Genesis 29:31
The Family of Jacob
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, ▼▼ Heb “hated.” The rhetorical device of overstatement is used (note v.
30, which says simply that Jacob loved Rachel more than he did Leah) to emphasize that Rachel, as Jacob’s true love and the primary object of his affections, had an advantage over Leah.
he enabled her to become pregnant ▼▼ Heb “he opened up her womb.”
while Rachel remained childless.
