The Deceiver Is Tricked

LZ Granderson: The story of Jacob and Rachel is a literary example of irony. He says in the ancient Near East there are not at a five-star bougie hotel in downtown New York or whatever for the honeymoon night they're in a tent late at night in the dark with no mood lighting. It's literally an oversight that is the more likely reading of the story, he says. LZ: In the mess of this story and the patriarchy and the sin the compassion of God over the pain of Leia's life story but Rachel remains childless.
