This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_29:31 And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel [was] barren.
Ver. 31. When the Lord saw that Leah was hated.] That is, less loved and respected. So God hated Esau; and accounts the neglects of wife or husband, no better than hatred. {Eph_5:25}
But Rachel was barren.] God commonly crosseth men’s preposterous affections, that he may draw all love to himself. Jonah loseth his gourd, and we our dearest delights, by overloving them.
