Theological / Devotional

Levi. The third of Leah’s sons, born in rapid succession, was named Levi, “attachment,” in the hope that this time her husband would truly become attached to her. In an Oriental harem it is the mother of the male child destined to become the heir who is most honored. Leah could not understand why Jacob did not turn his affections from her barren sister Rachel to her.
