Not the most stunning of historical side notes out of the Bible. This dastardly story of betrayal and stolen love comes straight from the Patriarchs.
What do you believe about these two? Which sister was really bad? Was Leah better than Rachel or was Rachel really bad and deserved to be punished.
I would have left if my sister had taken the man I loved. Poor Rachel.
I think this is a disgusting story and I think that Jacob acted dishonorably overall.
Quoting: BunBun Bun Bun, it doesn't say anywhere in scripture Jacob committed adultery. And to be clear, he only wanted to marry Rachel. But it was God's will that he was with the four of them. Certainly God would not have given Joseph the birthright if his birth was from an adulterous marriage. There is a thing called "concubines" and Jacob had three. Explain why Leah had to get permission from Rachel to sleep with Jacob if that was not his wife? Jacob neglected Leah. Genesis 30:14-15 KJV [14] And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. [15] And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes. Concubines = sex slaves. like in Islam
