Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 30:2 In-Context

1 Quando Raquel viu que não dava filhos a Jacó, teve inveja de sua irmã. Por isso disse a Jacó: “Dê-me filhos ou morrerei!”
2 Jacó ficou irritado e disse: “Por acaso estou no lugar de Deus, que a impediu de ter filhos?”
3 Então ela respondeu: “Aqui está Bila, minha serva. Deite-se com ela, para que tenha filhos em meu lugar e por meio dela eu também possa formar família”.
4 Por isso ela deu a JacĂł sua serva Bila por mulher. Ele deitou-se com ela,
5 Bila engravidou e deu-lhe um filho.
