Gênesis 29:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:17

Leah [was] tender eyed
Blear eyed, had a moisture in them, which made them red, and so she was not so agreeable to look at; though Onkelos renders the words,

``the eyes of Leah were beautiful,''

as if her beauty lay in her eyes, and nowhere else;

but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured;
in all parts, in the form of her countenance, in her shape and stature, and in her complexion, her hair black, her flesh white and ruddy, as Ben Melech observes.

Gênesis 29:17 In-Context

15 quando este lhe disse: “Só por ser meu parente você vai trabalhar de graça? Diga-me qual deve ser o seu salário”.
16 Ora, Labão tinha duas filhas; o nome da mais velha era Lia, e o da mais nova, Raquel.
17 Lia tinha olhos meigos, mas Raquel era bonita e atraente.
18 Como Jacó gostava muito de Raquel, disse: “Trabalharei sete anos em troca de Raquel, sua filha mais nova”.
19 Labão respondeu: “Será melhor dá-la a você do que a algum outro homem. Fique aqui comigo”.
