Genesis 30:18

[cnystrom]

Not sure why I never noticed this one before. Leah believes that God is rewarding her (by getting pregnant) for (apparently) doing the right thing which was by previously giving her maidservant to her husband for a wife.

I didn't point it out to anyone yet but I liked it very much.

to quote @GunnarR he got “biblical whiplash” it was a rather interesting reaction if I recall correctly. This was over a year ago so I don’t remember specifics...

Is she speaking from certain revelation, or supposition?

Either way, the Scriptures bear no record of God correcting or denying the atribution. Seems He would not have let it stand or be recorded if it was false.

Understood.

I've read that verse and never thought of it that way. I'm glad Chris pointed it out. It's a nice find. I just see it as a secondary or tertiary level of support verse as compared to a bonified prophet like Nathan speaking to David or Moses recording law. It's my preference but I see your point.

When you start stacking up verses like this, one on top of the other, throwing in Gen 20:6, for example, you get some interesting shrugs from people.
