Leah was “married off” to Jacob without her consent and as a “trick” to him. She was the wife he didn’t want and didn’t love. Jacob gets a taste of his own medicine, but at the expense of Leah, Laban’s eldest daughter. While Jacob does not love her, God “sees” her (see v. 31) and blesses her. She is the mother of the sons from Whom Israel’s priests are chosen and from whom Israel’s kings are chosen and ultimately the tribe from which Israel’s messiah emerges. Unloved by her husband, yet mother of Levi and Judah - the carriers of God’s covenant activity in history.
