In spite of our disobedience and sin, God’s purposes will be accomplished for his glory. This principle is evident in the story of Rachel and Leah, found in Genesis 29:30—30:24. The passage explains the beginnings of Israel’s twelve tribes through the births of Jacob’s twelve sons. Despite the bitter bickering of sisters Rachel and Leah, God’s plan was not thwarted.
