Gen. 30:1. It is an observation in the fulfilling of Scripture, that when God's people have an immediate desire and pressing after an outward thing, they have their design sometimes answered, but therewith a sharp reproof from God; and usually find small satisfaction in their enjoying that about which they were so unsober in their pursuit. "Give children," etc., said Rachel: she got children, and she died in bringing one of them forth.

Gen. 31:24
