The Bible writer said the love of Jacob’s life, Rachel, “was beautiful and had a good figure,” (Genesis 29:17 CEV). But her older sis Leah, whom Jacob got tricked into marrying, had something going on with her eyes. Scholars can only guess what. But since the writer seems to report it as the flip side of good looking, she may have been cross-eyed, bug-eyed, or one-eyed. Bible translations: “weak eyes,” “no sparkle.”Strange and Mysterious Stuff in the Bible, p.170.
