†. Gen 30:22a . . Now God remembered Rachel; Does that mean The Almighty had somehow forgotten all about her? (chuckle) No. God's memory works just fine. Memories don't always have to be jogged. Case in point: can you remember how many toes are on each of your feet? Of course. You never forget...

†. Gen 30:17 . . God heeded Leah, and she conceived and bore him a fifth son. God was favorably inclined to grant Leah's wishes. But why doesn't God grant the wishes of all barren women? Is that fair? Why is God sensitive to some while ignoring the feelings of others? I wish I could answer...

†. Gen 30:1a . .When Rachel saw that she had borne Jacob no children, she became envious of her sister; Sibling rivalry is bad enough. But when siblings compete for the affections of the same love object, it's all the worse. I don't know what it is about kin, but it's much easier to compete...

†. Gen 29:32 . . Leah conceived and bore a son, and named him Reuben; for she declared: The Lord has seen my affliction. Now my husband will love me. Reuben's name is from Re'uwben (reh-oo-bane') which means: See; a son! Children do have a way of bonding a (normal) man to their mother. It...

†. Gen 29:24 . . Laban had given his maidservant Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maid. Zilpah didn't say anything either. In fact she very likely assisted Leah to bathe and prepare for her wedding night. Poor Jacob. He was so defeated. It was like the whole world, and even the stars above in...

†. Gen 29:17b-18a . . Rachel was shapely and beautiful. Jacob loved Rachel; Duh. Why does that not surprise us? You know, Jacob was fortunate about something. In those days, a man didn't have to win a woman's heart. He had to win her custodian's heart. So men could pick out a girl like they...

†. Gen 29:1 . . Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the Easterners. The geographic region in Turkey where Jacob went wasn't actually east by his reckoning. It was just about dead north. But the people who populated that region had roots in the east. Here's another version. "Then...

†. Gen 28:22a . . And this stone, which I have set up as a pillar, shall be God's abode; Jacob's pillow stone wasn't really meant to be a dwelling or a container as we typically think of human habitat or animal cages. It was meant to be a sort of monitoring device. An 8th century BC Aramaic...

†. Gen 28:16-17a . . Jacob awoke from his sleep and said: Surely the Lord is present in this place, and I did not know it! Shaken, he said: How awesome is this place! Actually Jacob was very frightened. I believe that place gave him the creeps. It isn't unusual for an encounter with God to...
