 Includes NotesNotes for Leah bint Laban:
Leah's name means wild cow. Her name is to insinuate that she has no one to care for her. A wild cow had no caretaker the same as the wild olive has no one to care for it. Paul understood this mystery of Leah and Rachel. This is why he called the Gentiles the wild olive. Israel was cared for by the Lord, therefore it was tame. By the Gentiles being grafted into the tame olive tells us that he will take care of us along with Israel. This is the very reason that Laban tricked Jacob and hid her in the tent on his wedding night instead of Rachel. He knew that Rachel would be cared for and believed that Jacob would be willing to work an extra seven years to get her. But he wanted someone to take care of his little girl, Leah. He believed that Jacob would be good to her.
