The Torah says Jacob's anger burned against Rachel (Genesis 30:2). The Targum Pseudo-Jonathan keeps the heat of the verb. The anger of Jakob was strong against Rahel.
Why was he angry? Because Rachel had asked him to give her children, as if the power were his to distribute. Jacob's reply is one of the clearest theological corrections in the book of Genesis.
Why do you ask of me? Ask before the Lord, from before whom are children, and who hath restrained from thee the fruit of the womb.
Two sentences, one doctrine. First: do not ask a human being for what only God can give. Second: the One who has withheld is the same One who will give. Both the closing and the opening of the womb are in the same Hand.
This is a Jewish principle the Talmud (Taanit 2a) will later formalize. Three keys are held by God alone and never delegated to angels or agents: the key of rain, the key of birth, and the key of the resurrection. Jacob is teaching Rachel the key of birth: it is not in his hand, and it is not in anyone's hand but the Holy One's.
Some commentators criticize Jacob's anger. The Midrash (Bereshit Rabbah 71:7) says he was rebuked for speaking sharply to a grieving wife. But the theological content of his answer is correct. He wants Rachel to redirect her prayer upward. He is her husband; he cannot be her god.
Later, Rachel will do exactly that. She will pray directly. And Heaven will answer. Jacob's sharp words were a redirection, not a rejection.
The takeaway: marriage is not a substitute for prayer. The husband who loves you cannot be the god who answers you.
