Indaba ewubonisa kahle umbango owawuphakathi kukaRaheli noLeya yileyo ephathelene namamandrake ayetholwe indodana kaLeya, uRubeni. Kwakucatshangwa ukuthi lesi sithelo singasiza owesifazane akwazi ukukhulelwa. Lapho uRaheli ecela ambalwa, uLeya wamphendula ngomunyu: “Ingabe yinto encane le, ukuba uthathe umyeni wami, futhi manje usuthatha namamandrake endodana yami?” Abanye bathi amazwi kaLeya abonisa ukuthi uJakobe wayechitha isikhathi esiningi noRaheli kunoLeya. Mhlawumbe uRaheli wabona ukuthi uLeya wayekhononda kufanele, ngoba wamphendula: “Ngaleso sizathu uzolala nawe namuhla ebusuku ngenane amamandrake endodana yakho.” Ngakho, lapho uJakobe efika ekhaya kusihlwa, uLeya wamtshela: “Uzolala nami, ngoba ngikuqashe ngokuqondile ngamamandrake endodana yami.”—Genesise 30:15, 16.

Amamandrake awazange asize. Lapho uRaheli ekhulelwa ngemva kweminyaka eyisithupha futhi ekugcineni ezala uJosefa, kwakungenxa yokuthi uJehova “wamkhumbula” futhi waphendula umthandazo wakhe. URaheli wakwazi ukuthi: “UNkulunkulu usisusile isihlamba sami!”—Genesise 30:22-24.
