“.....fertility in the ancient world was about much more than just having children. Fertility, the life created and carried by women, was considered a sign of God's favor. For Rachel, her lack of fertility must have felt like a curse. Was infertility to be her reward for everything she had gone through? She had waited seven long years for her chance to marry Jacob and have children. Surely, God would reward her! But it seemed she got only heartache instead.”
