Don't know how many
of you have ever caught this?
Genesis 30:15-16(NKJV)
Genesis 30:15-16(NKJV)
But she said to her,
“Is it a small matter that you have
taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also?” And Rachel said, “Therefore he
will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
When Jacob came out
of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come
in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” And he lay with
her that night.
Here we have Rachel
pimping out Jacob for Rueben's mandrakes.
I know that sounds crude but isn't that really what happened here? It says explicitly that Rachel sent Jacob to
have sex with Leah in exchange for Leah's son's mandrakes.
Weird. Not sure what to make of that!
