The first time the word "happy" appears in the Bible is with the birth of Asher, named by Leah. This split sermon explores the drama of Jacob's family to examine the meaning of Leah's desire to be thought of as happy and blessed, exploring the unhappiness of Leah and her family and its implications on the law of God as well as the history of Israel.
