Laban's two daughters, Leah and Rachel, had completely different appearances. Genesis 29:16-17 Laban had two daughters. The name of the older one was Leah, and the name of the younger one was Rachel. Leah had poor eyesight, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely. The Bible records that Leah, the older one, had poor eyesight, and Rachel was beautiful and lovely. The phrase "poor eyesight" is not an exact translation. Since the exact meaning of the Hebrew is unknown, the translations differ depending on the Bible. The New Translation and the Common Translation translate it as "she had gentle eyes," while the Message Bible translates it as "she had pretty eyes." Genesis 29:17 (New Translation) Leah had gentle eyes, and Rachel had a beautiful figure and appearance. It is not known exactly what this means, but it seems that it would be good to understand it as an expression that she was a kind-hearted woman. Jacob loved Rachel, who was beautiful, more than Leah, who was kind-hearted. We can guess how much Jacob loved Rachel, considering that he worked for her for seven years without pay. It seems that Rachel's beauty was so great that it stole Jacob's heart. However, on the day of Jacob and Rachel's wedding, Laban married Leah to Jacob instead of Rachel. If we understand it from a modern perspective, it was a fraudulent marriage. Why did Laban deceive Jacob and marry Leah to Jacob? Could it be that Leah was of marriageable age but could not get married? Could it be that she had a good heart but could not get married because of her looks? Why did Laban marry both of his daughters to Jacob? Laban, who was smart, married Jacob to Leah, and also married Leah's younger sister Rachel to Jacob. He made his two daughters work for Jacob for 14 years without pay while marrying them. It is assumed that Laban married both of his daughters to Jacob in order to gain Jacob's excellent labor. Laban can be said to be an excellent swindler who was good at dealing. From Jacob's point of view, it was unfair. It was unfair that he had to work for 14 years without pay, it was unfair that he could not spend his first night with his beloved Rachel, and it was unfair that he had to spend his first night with Leah, whom he had never thought of, as his first wife. Although incest was common at the time, it was not something Jacob wanted to do to have his older and younger sisters as his wives at the same time. Jacob later took Bilhah and Zilpah, the maids of his two wives, as his second wives. Having four wives was not something Jacob had planned.
