3946. 'But she said to her, Is it a small thing for you to have taken my husband?' means the existence of conjugial desire. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking a husband', who is also another's - in this case taking Jacob who is also Leah's husband - as that entailing mutual love between them. Consequently the words 'Is it a small thing for you to have taken my husband?' means conjugial desire.
