Leah

15 Questions & Answers

Scripture Ref: Gene 29-35; Ruth 4:11
________________________________________________________________

#1. Who is Leah?

Answer:
The story of Leah is an Old Testament love triangle. She was caught in conflict with her sister for the man she loved. Leah is the first of the four concurrent wives of the Hebrew patriarch Jacob, and mother of six of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. She is the eldest daughter of Laban and the older sister of Rachel, whom Jacob originally wanted to marry(Gen. 29:16). Leah is Jacob's first cousin, as her father Laban is the brother of Jacob's mother Rebecca. Jacob took her as wife through a deceit of her father (Gen. 29:23). She bore to Jacob six sons (32-35), also one daughter, Dinah (30:21). She accompanied Jacob into Canaan, and died there before the time of going down into Egypt (Gen. 31), and was buried in the cave of Machpelah, the family grave, near Hebron (Genesis 49:31).

------------------------------------------------------------

#4. True or false. Leah's memory was not forgotten by future generations.

Answer:
True. Ruth 4:11 discloses the fact. Memory of Leah was used as a blessing for Ruth.

4:11 Then the elders and all those at the gate said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.
------------------------------------------------------------

#5. Why Rachel was considered more beautiful?

Answer:
Leah was tender-eyed. The dullness or weakness of her eyes was so notable that it is mentioned as a contrast to the beautiful form and appearance of her younger sister. Probably, her eyes were lacking that luster/sparkle which always and everywhere is looked upon as a conspicuous part of female beauty. On the other hand Rachel was beautiful and physically attractive.
-------------------------------------------------------------

# 6. Who were the two sons of Leah became the progenitors of prominent tribes in Israel?

Answer:
a) Levi (Levites came from him)
b) Judah (Jews originated from him)

God fulfills His covenant to Abraham through Leah's descendants. All kings of Israel come from Judah, most notably King David. Other famous descendants are:
Moses, Aaron, Elizabeth, John the baptist, Barnabas, Peter, Joseph, Mary and her son Jesus, the long awaited Messiah.
--------------------------------------------------------------

#7. When Jacob was returning to the land of his fathers, before the end of their journey what did Jacob do to Leah when their courage was sorely tried at the time of the meeting between Jacob and his brother Esau?

Answer:
Although Leah was by all accounts always loyal to Jacob, the sentiment was not returned to the same degree. Jacob's continued second-rate regard for Leah apparently never ended. Years later, when he was about to meet his brother Esau for the first time since their bitter parting, Jacob surely believed that Esau would attack with his 400 men (Genesis 32:6), so he put Leah and her children near the front of the line, and kept Rachel and her children safely in the rear (Genesis 33:2) giving them the best chance of escape should Esau turn violent. Although Leah was placed between the handmaids in the front, and Rachel with her son Joseph in the rear, she still could not have derived much comfort from her position. We may well imagine her feeling of relief when she saw Esau and his 400 men returning to Seir (Gen 33:2,16).

However, God was not about to let anything happen to Leah. She is one of the key ancestors of the most important people in Bible History and Bible Prophecy.
--------------------------------------------------------------

# 8. True or False. Throughout Leah's story, Leah was disloyal to Jacob?

Answer:
False. Throughout her story, Leah must have been very unhappy and certainly had reason to be bitter. Jacob's preference of Rachel grew into hatred of Leah. However, she continued to love and be loyal to her husband even though that love was not returned. To her credit, with each birth, the names she chose show her devotion to God and her reverence for Him as the Ruler of her life. - And she was rewarded. Her six sons became representatives of six of the twelve tribes of Israel. It was through her son Judah’s line, the Savior Jesus Christ was born. Leah is remembered as a blessing in the book of Ruth.
-------------------------------------------------------------
#9. How much time Jacob had to wait to marry Rachel after the unwelcome surprise marriage with Leah?

Answer: One week.

A great wedding feast was held and when evening came, as was the custom, the heavily veiled bride was led into the bridal chamber. There, in the dark, Jacob spent the first night with his bride, but the light of day brought an unwelcome surprise. The untrustworthy Laban had secretly substituted Leah for Rachel. He wanted to wring 7 more years of service from Jacob.

Jacob was understandably upset at being deceived and confronted Laban, who hedged, saying that the older daughter must always marry before the younger. He excused himself to Jacob by alleging that the custom of the country forbade the younger sister to be given first in marriage. So, let Jacob would just finish the "marriage week" with Leah, he could marry Rachel too and then work another seven years for her. Jacob accepted the terms. He must have been very much in love to agree to another seven years work for the man who so cruelly deceived him.

Thus, the stage was set for an unhappy home. Jacob loved his wife Rachel but the Bible says that Leah was despised. She embarked on the unfruitful work to win her husband’s affection. There followed many years of jealousy and competition between the sisters.

(Jacob may have considered this God’s method of payback, for Jacob had deceived his own father to win his brother’s birthright - read Genesis 27).
---------------------------------------------------------------

#10. How is Leah's character projected in the story?

Answer:
Capable of strong and enduring love, she was a faithful mother and wife. Manipulated by her father, she became jealous of her sister, with whom she might not have reconciled. Her love for her husband was one-sided.
----------------------------------------------------------------

#11. With each child the unhappy Leah hoped to secure her husband's affection. But each time her disappointment grew. What is the old curse concerning this situation?

Answer:
Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you (Gen 3:16).
-----------------------------------------------------------------

#12. Children often caused a mother untold sorrow. Name a few sorrowful events Leah had to go through?

Answer:
a) Dinah, her only daughter, had been raped by a local prince on thier return to Jacob's homeland. Leah probably didn't know how to comfort her.
b) Her sons Levi and Simeon avenged their sister by savagely murdering a town-full of people.
c) Reuben disgraced himself by sleeping with his father's concubine Bilhah.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

#13. What are the things credited to Leah, rather than Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel?

Answer:
a)Jacob's love could not prevent Rachel from dying in childbirth and she was buried somewhere near Ephrath, not in the family grave.
b) Leah was destined to be his first and last wife.
c) The promise of a Savior was carried not through Rachel's Joseph but through Leah's Judah.
d) Jacob was laid to rest in the Cave of Machpelah, next to his first wife Leah.
e) Along her husband, the father of Israel, Leah would be revered as the mother of Israel.
f)Leah had a full life with many sons and wealth, however, she was best known for what she didn't have- the love of her husband.
---------------------------------------------------------------

#14. Many things other than another woman can put a wife in Leah's position. What could be them?

Answer:

Many women today have husbands who love something more than their wives, such as their jobs, their position, their money, sports, friends, relatives etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------

#15. Give couple of examples of promises in Scripture, as your only source of comfort when you desperately want a love you don't have?

Answer:

a)Isaiah61:1,3
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners.

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

b)Jeremiah 31:13b
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
