So as far as society was concerned, nobody cared that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah; she was worthless because she was barren.</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, not only worthless, but they were considered cursed by God, too. And probably, Leah rubbed it in Rachel's face that Leah had more kids. She wasn't perfect, after all... I feel more pity for Rachel than actual dislike, I think she was the spoiled baby. She was also cheated by her father when she didn't get to marry Jacob right away. Marrying and reproducing was very important to women at that time.laughterismedicinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184560479274166237noreply@blogger.com
