Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

30:14-24 The desire, good in itself, but often too great and irregular, of being the mother of the promised Seed, with the honour of having many children, and the reproach of being barren, were causes of this unbecoming contest between the sisters. The truth appears to be, that they were influenced by the promises of God to Abraham; whose posterity were promised the richest blessings, and from whom the Messiah was to descend.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

21. afterwards, she bare a daughter—The inferior value set on a daughter is displayed in the bare announcement of the birth.
