29.16 Nomen majoris Lia, etc. Victorinus martyr Rachel et Liam in similitudinem Ecclesiæ et Synagogæ interpretatus est. Liam majorem natu Synagogam significare existimat, quia prior populum Dei genuit: quæ oculis lippa dicitur, quia lex per Mosen data cooperata est et signata. Rachel minor et pulchra, prius sterilis, post fecunda, Ecclesiam signat, quæ tempore posterior, sed sancta corpore et spiritu. Oculi ejus decori, quia Evangelium videre meruerunt. Sed diu sterilis dum Synagoga populum generavit. Pro Rachel Jacob servivit, et supponitur ei Lia: quia Christus ut Ecclesiam sibi assumeret, prius sibi Synagogam conjunxit.

BRN Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
BrLXX Τῷ δὲ Λάβαν ἦσαν δύο θυγατέρες· ὄνομα τῇ μείζονι, Λεία, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ νεωτέρᾳ, Ῥαχήλ.
(Tōi de Laban aʸsan duo thugateres; onoma taʸ meizoni, Leia, kai onoma taʸ neōtera, Ɽaⱪaʸl. )
29:14-30 Jacob’s joyful prospect of marriage to the lovely Rachel became an occasion for Laban’s shrewdness and Jacob’s discipline. Jacob and his mother had deceived his father and brother to gain the blessing; now his mother’s brother deceived him. Jacob received a dose of his own duplicity through twenty years of labor, affliction, and deception in Laban’s service (31:38). In God’s justice, people harvest what they plant (Gal 6:7). Laban’s deception was perfectly designed to make Jacob aware of his own craftiness. God often brings people into the lives of believers to discipline them. But Jacob was tenacious, and God blessed him abundantly with a large family and many possessions (30:25-43) during this time of service.
