The birth of Jacob’s eleven sons and one daughter in Genesis 29-30 is half way between a story and a list. The most prominent aspect of the chapters are the births, the naming, and the numbering of Jacob’s children. Nevertheless, elements of literary art are evident, such as the competition between the sisters, Rachel’s melodramatic statement, “Giv...
1. Lagging not Prevailing!
Rachel’s statement after Bilhah’s birth of Naphtali (30:7) does not make sense: “I have wrestled with my sister and prevailed.” By this point, Leah has already had four sons to Rachel’s two, so Rachel can hardly claim to have prevailed over her sister.
2. Two Reasons for the Names
There are four cases in which two reason are given for the name of a specific son. Two of them take the simple form of the mother (Leah) offering two consecutive etymologies or explanations for the boy’s name:
Critical scholars have long assumed that the account of the birth of Jacob’s sons was written by more than one author, but have debated how to disentangle its threads. The best-known theory is the documentary hypothesis (DH), which suggests that the Torah was put together by a redactor who wove four independent, freestanding documents into one book...
a. Rachel Prevails
One key to unraveling the composition of this material is Rachel’s statement in v. 7 after the birth of Napthali: “I have wrestled with my sister and prevailed.” יכלתי here means “prevailed” as it does with the naming of Israel (Gen 32:29): As I noted above, Rachel has not prevailed in the procreative competition; she is still behind four sons to two sons. This suggests that v. 7 points to a version of the text in which Leah had fewer sons. More specifically, other factors point to the probab...
b. The Double Etymologies
YHWH appears in the explanation to Reuben’s name. This does not mean that Reuben was added by the J redactor, but that this extra explanation for Reuben’s name, that YHWH saw Leah’s suffering, was added by J. Perhaps, the author of J was unhappy with the lack of a solid etymology for the name, and supplied a new one with the word “see” (ראה) in it. The same is likely the explanation for two of the other three double etymologies noted above. The E text explains Zebulun’s name with zevadani, an...
c. The Handmaiden’s Role in the Birth of Issachar
J’s supplementary etymology for Issachar’s name, where he chooses the same root as E (ש.כ.ר), but with a different narrative explanation, fits with a broader theme of the J revision of the story as a whole. J significantly expands the theme of Jacob marrying his wife’s handmaiden, mentioned only in one verse in E (Gen 30:3), when Rachel suggests that Jacob should take her handmaiden (amah) as a wife and bear children on her (Rachel’s) behalf. The J author adds a number of details to the Bilha...
According to final form of Genesis, and many other biblical texts, Jacob has twelve sons, each the father of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. In E, however, Jacob has only seven sons. When J inherited the northern Elohistic narrative, he added three tribes that were important to him and his Judean audience, and two others that served to bring th...
This reading of Genesis 29-30, which suggests that J added five sons to Jacob’s brood, offers a particularly good example of how the Supplementary Hypothesis can simplify an otherwise confusing and disjointed set of narratives, It provides a clear-cut division of texts, each with its own agenda. When the scribes of the Northern Kingdom escaped the ...
