IN OUR ANCHOR SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR TODAY, is an ancient practice that deserves our attention, consideration and emulation because it equipped wives for effectiveness in various aspects of their duty and kept them from being worn out too soon. It’s the practice of furnishing brides with handmaids just as Laban did in the passage above. He didn’t wait until Leah had had several children and the task of caring for them and their Dad had become crushing before seeing it fit to gift her with a domestic Assistant. No. He knew that kitchen work and caring for a family place much demand on a woman’s strength right from the onset of marriage.
When later he gave his younger daughter, Rachel to Jacob in marriage, he also “equipped” her with a handmaid to ease her work in the home.
“28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 AND LABAN GAVE TO RACHEL HIS DAUGHTER BILHAH HIS HANDMAID TO BE HER MAID.”(Genesis 29:28-29).
We see the same pattern in the marriage of Isaac and Rebecca that took place many years earlier. Rebecca came into her new home “equipped” with an able and healthy domestic worker to make her wifely duties easier for her.
“And they sent away Rebekah their sister, AND HER NURSE, and Abraham’s servant, and his men”(Genesis 24:59)
What’s the objective of this devotional piece? It’s to help spouses, especially husbands, see the necessity of providing human or electronic help for their wives to make domestic work easy for them; resulting in a consistently strong “lovebird wife” who will be always ready and enthusiastic about their mutual romantic and sexual life.
