to dwell in her house," apply to Rachel, for reports: "Rachel was barren." And the words of , "a joyful mother of children," apply to Rachel, as well, for reports, "the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin." Rabbi Elazar taught that when in Leah named her son Reuben, she said prophetically: "See (, re'u) the difference between my son (, ben) and Isaac's son Esau. Even though Esau knowingly sold his birthright to his brother Jacob, as says, "And he sold his birthright to Jacob," nonetheless reports, "Esau hated Jacob."

Rabbi Berekiah taught that Rabbi Eleazar and Rabbi Samuel ben Nahman commented on this. Rabbi Eleazar said that
