Did Leah have 'weak' eyes?

Here's a lovely article doing a word study on the Hebrew words describing Leah in Genesis 29:17. I found it after reading Spurgeon's 'Morning' devotional for Tuesday on biblegateway.com. After reading it, I googled 'Did Leah have weak eyes?' and found the article I mentioned above. I love this part: "Saying that she had "weak eyes" is a term of praise for her, since her greatest fear was to be forced to undergo an arranged marriage with Esau, and therefore she wept and wept to be the mother of the righteous.... God saw her tears -- and made her the most fruitful of the four matriarchs of Israel." Leah wanted to be 'the mother of the righteous' rather than bear children to the rebel Esau. God blessed her for that desire.

Hebrew for Christians website: Really neat!

Here is a neat website called Hebrew for Christians, which I have linked to once before when I accidentally came upon it in an online search about Joshua the son of Nun. 'Nun' is one of the Hebrew letters, so it came up in my search, and I posted the page for it here. The author has done amazing work to share with us the richness of the Hebrew language. Even each letter is rich with meaning. I encourage you to read through some of the pages on each letter of the 'aleph-bet'. The author, John Parsons, also has much free downloadable teaching material for homeschool or for adult students, as well as some materials for purchase.
