208 Jacob’s Children

Genesis 29:31-35; 30:1-24, TBC Book One, Chapter 22
Within a week after her wedding, Leah’s joy turned to heartache. She had hoped that, in time, Jacob would learn to love her. But it was obvious Rachel had won his heart. When the Lord saw Leah was not loved, he opened her womb, but let Rachel remain barren. 

When Rachel realized she was not getting pregnant, she became jealous of Leah and lashed out at Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!” 

Jacob replied angrily, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you barren?”

If I can’t get pregnant, Rachel thought, I’ll have children through my maidservant. . . .
