the description of Dinah's birth in uses the word "afterward," showing that this happened after Rachel prayed. And Rav taught that the word "afterward" in signified that Leah bore Dinah "after" she passed judgment on herself, reasoning that twelve tribes were destined to issue from Jacob and six had already issued from her and four from the handmaids, and if the child of the current pregnancy were to be a boy, then Rachel would not have as many sons as one of the handmaids. Thereupon the child was turned into a girl, and Dinah was born. A Baraita taught that on Rosh Hashanah, God remembered each of Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah and decreed that they would bear children. Rabbi Eliezer found support for the Baraita from the parallel use of the word "remember" in , which says about Rachel, "And God remembered Rachel," and in , which calls Rosh Hashanah "a remembrance of the blast of the trumpet." A Midrash taught that the words of , "He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel," allude to the report of , "And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her." Rabbi Judan said in Rabbi Aibu's name that Rachel was remembered through many prayers. First, for her own sake, as says, "And God remembered Rachel (, )," and , , implies for the sake of her sister (as , , is often interpreted as an extending particle, adding instances or cases not explicitly mentioned). "And God hearkened to her" for Jacob's sake; "and opened her womb" for the sake of the matriarchs. A Midrash taught that when says, "And God remembered Rachel," it reports that God remember in her favor her silence on her sister Leah's behalf, for when Leah was being given to Jacob, Rachel knew it, yet was silent. For the Gemara taught (as recounted at greater length above) that when Jacob asked Rachel to marry him, Jacob entrusted Rachel with certain signs by which he might know her in the dark. While Leah was being led into the bridal chamber, Rachel realized that Leah would be disgraced, so Rachel gave Leah the signs. And thus because of what Rachel did, Jacob did not know that it was Leah until the morning. A Midrash taught that it was only just that "God remembered Rachel," because Rachel had allowed her rival Bilhah into her home.
