Hello Amigos!
I am, yours Jessy Rose🌹.
I firstly thank you for all the love and constant support guys!
So today let's learn about a character, about whom we mostly decline to look.
As the title says, this woman was not loved, but let's learn what happened to this woman?
Now I guess your minds might have started thinking, who is this woman that was not loved? Why is she not loved?
She had weak eyes, so she was not loved.
I guess now you understood who is this woman.
Yes, you are right she is LEAH.
The meaning of Leah is 'Wild Cow'.
She is the elder daughter of Laban.
She is the first wife of Jacob who is the son of Issac and Rebekah. I have already written a blog about Issac, if you haven't read already go check out The Promised Son.
Jacob didn't love her. Because she was not beautiful. And she has weak eyes.
Even the people around her did not love her. Even her husband neglected her.
But she craved so much for her husband's love.
GENESIS 29:31
When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive.
See here when people and her husband did not love her, Lord saw her and blessed her to conceive
As the PSALM 127:3, "Offspring a reward from him".
Now let's see GENESIS 29:32, "Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, "It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now."
We can see here how much she was happy when she gave birth to a child and she is telling that Lord saw her misery which means when she was not loved by everyone she was miserable but Lord saw it and blessed her. And again she is wishing that her husband will love her at least now.
The meaning of Reuben is 'Behold a son.
GENESIS 29:33
She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too." So she named him Simeon.
We saw before that she wished that her husband would love her, but still, she was not loved, so when she conceived and gave birth she is telling that Lord heard her that she was not loved, she was praying to Lord that she was not loved, so Lord blessed her again with another child who's name is Simeon.
The meaning of Simeon is 'Listening'.
GENESIS 29:34
Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Now, at last, my husband will become attached to me because I have borne him three sons." So he was named Levi.
See how still she was not loved, and still, she is wishing that at least now her husband will be attached to her as she gave him three sons, and she named that child Levi.
The meaning of Levi is 'Attached'.
Look how Lord blessed her children, he chose these people who belonged from this tribe Levi, Moses, he was attached to the Lord, he is a prophet, he is a writer of Pentateuch, he is the one who saved Israelites from the slavery of Egyptians, he is a great leader. The priests of the Lord came from this tribe, Levi.
GENESIS 29:35
She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "This time I will praise the Lord." So she named him Judah.
So finally she was been loved by her husband and people, so she is praising Lord and named him Judah.
The meaning of Judah is 'Praised'.
From this tribe comes the legendary kings which include, even JESUS CHRIST. The king of kings Jesus Christ has saved the whole world from the sin of slavery and led to heaven.
Moses led to the promised land, Canaan, and Jesus Christ led to heaven.
GENESIS 30:13
Then Leah said, "How happy I am! The women will call me happy."
All this time though she was not loved by her husband and people she was happy here because of the grace of the Lord.
GENESIS 30:17-18
17. God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18. God has rewarded me." So she named him Issachar.
The meaning of Issachar is 'hire, wage, reward'.
GENESIS 30:19-20
19. Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.
20. Then Leah said, "God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honour because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.
The meaning of Zebulun is 'exalted, honoured'
GENESIS 30:21
Sometime later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
The meaning of Dinah is 'valley, judgement'.
So now we might be in place of Leah, that no one is loving or caring for us, but God will bless us and gives happiness to us by listening and answering our prayers.
So I hope this helped you to believe and hope in God.
If so comment and lemme know what you have learned today and kindly share it with your friends and family💓.
