We explore God's compassionate response to Leah's plight by opening her womb while Rachel remained barren, raising thought-provoking questions about the complexities of God's timing in His plan. Our conversation also touches on the dangerous path of favoritism and its lasting impact on Jacob's lineage, with echoes that resonate throughout the history of Israel.
