성경구절

창세기 29:14

뜻

“지친”을 나타내는 히브리어 לְאָה (le’ah)에서 기원됐다고 여겨지는 히브리어 לֵאָה (Le’ah)에서 유래되었습니다. 아시리아에서 이 이름은 “첩” 또는 “통치자”란 의미를 수반하는지도 모릅니다. 구약성경에서 레아는 라반의 딸이자 라헬의 언니입니다. 야곱은 라헬과 결혼하길 원했고 라반이 그에게 약속한 것처럼 야곱은 7년 동안 그 집에서 노동을 합니다. 그러나 너무나 놀랍게도, 결혼한 날 밤에 라반이 그에게 주었던 아내는 라헬이 아니라 레아였음을 야곱은 발견합니다. 결과적으로 야곱은 라헬과 결혼하기 위해서는 또 다른 7년을 노동해야 한다고 야곱을 꾑니다. 그리고 라헬은 후에 요셉의 어머니가 됩니다.
