Biblical Parallels Index – Bereshit 29
Favored and Unfavored Wives
Tools
- Makbilot Bamikra points out that the notion of a preferred (אהובה, lit. beloved) and less preferred (שנואה, lit. hated) wife appears, in a legal context, in Devarim 21:15-17. The parallel raises the question of how to understand Bereshit 29:30-31's description of Rachel as "beloved" and Leah as "hated". Was Leah actually hated or more simply less favored than Rachel?
Articles
- See Yaakov's Wives for discussion of how various commentators view Yaakov's relationship with Leah, and whether her deception led to such distrust that Yaakov actively disliked her.
- The juxtaposition of a beloved wife who has no children and a less beloved wife who does have children has a literary parallel in the story of Channah and Peninah in Shemuel I 1. See Rachel and Channah for an exploration of the parallels and contrasts between the stories.
