Gênesis 29:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:31

And when the Lord saw that Leah [was] hated
Not properly and simply hated by Jacob, as appears by his doing the duty of an husband to her, but comparatively; she was less loved than Rachel: and there are many things to be said for it; she was not beautiful as Rachel was; she was not Jacob's choice, as she was but imposed upon him through deceit, and he was forced to marry her, or he could not have Rachel his beloved wife: but the Lord had pity on her, and that she might have a share in her husband's affections, he opened her womb;
or gave her conception; as Onkelos paraphrases it: but Rachel [was] barren;
bare no children as yet, and for many years after, ( Genesis 30:22-24 ) .

Gênesis 29:31 In-Context

29 Labão deu a Raquel sua serva Bila, para que ficasse a serviço dela.

30 Jacó deitou-se também com Raquel, que era a sua preferida. E trabalhou para Labão outros sete anos.

31 Quando o SENHOR viu que Lia era desprezada, concedeu-lhe filhos; Raquel, porém, era estéril.

32 Lia engravidou, deu à luz um filho e deu-lhe o nome de Rúben, pois dizia: “O SENHOR viu a minha infelicidade. Agora, certamente o meu marido me amará”.

33 Lia engravidou de novo e, quando deu à luz outro filho, disse: “Porque o SENHOR ouviu que sou desprezada, deu-me também este”. Pelo que o chamou Simeão.
