28 雅各就如此行。滿了利亞的七日,拉班便將女兒拉結雅各為妻。

3853. Verse 31 And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and He opened her womb; and Rachel was barren.

'Jehovah saw' means the Lord's foresight and providence. 'That Leah was hated' means that the affection for external truth was not so dear because it was further away from the Divine. 'And He opened her womb' means that this affection gave rise to the doctrines taught by the Churches. 'And Rachel was barren' means that interior truths were not received.
