Rachel and Leah vie for Jacob's Affection Genesis Chapter 30 part I
Update: 2025-05-16
Description
Leah and Rachel engage in a tit for tat competition for the affection of their husband Jacob. In the process Jacob fathers what will come to be the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. While polygamy was tolerated for a time for the purposes of progeny, this family situation illustrates the inherent problem with multiple wives, which was eventually rooted out of society as an evil practice that brings about envy and jealousy.
