Listen to Génesis 30:2
2 Entonces se encendió la ira de Jacob contra Raquel, y dijo: ¿Estoy yo en lugar de Dios, que te ha negado el fruto de tu vientre?

Génesis 30:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:2

And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel
Whom yet he dearly loved, hearing her talk in such an extravagant manner, as her words seemed to be, and were not: only expressive of great uneasiness and impatience, but implied what was not in the power of man to do: and he said, [am] I in God's stead:
do you take me to be God, or one that has a dispensing power from him to do what otherwise no creature can do; and which also he never gives to any? for, as the Targum of Jerusalem on ( Genesis 30:22 ) says, this is one of the four keys which God delivers not to an angel or a seraph; even the key of barrenness. Children are the gift of God, and his only, and therefore he is to be sought unto for them: hence Onkelos land Jonathan paraphrase it;

``wherefore dost thou seek them of me? shouldest thou not seek them of the Lord?''
who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
children, ( Psalms 127:3 ) ; not Jacob, but the Lord.

1 Pero viendo Raquel que ella no daba hijos a Jacob, tuvo celos de su hermana, y dijo a Jacob: Dame hijos, o si no, me muero.
2 Entonces se encendió la ira de Jacob contra Raquel, y dijo: ¿Estoy yo en lugar de Dios, que te ha negado el fruto de tu vientre?
3 Y ella dijo: Aquí está mi sierva Bilha; llégate a ella para que dé a luz sobre mis rodillas, para que por medio de ella yo también tenga hijos.
