The Torah sticks up for the: שְׂנוּאָה reject, and doesn’t allow the husband to make the son of the: אֲהוּבָה favorite wife, an unjust Bechor. Later in the Parsha, we have a man who hates his wife, and is: מוֹצִיא שֵׁם רַע brings false witnesses against her. He’ll have to pay her 100 כֶּסֶף dinars, and he won’t be able to divorce her for the rest of his life.
If you feel rejected (שְׂנוּאָה) in any way, you should realize that Hashem is very much behind you. In fact, the very being rejected can be a Ma'ala, like it says: וַיַּרְא ה' כִּי שְׂנוּאָה לֵאָה וַיִּפְתַּח אֶת רַחְמָהּ Hashem saw that Leah was unloved, so He gave her a child. The main part of Klal Yisroel was created thanks to the Bizyonos of Leah Imeinu.
And the Alter of Kelm Zatzal points out that it wasn’t her Tefilos or her Tzidkus; but her Bizyonos! So many complain that our Yissurim (in Ruchaniyus and in Gashmiyus) cause less Torah and Avoda... We don’t realize that Yissurim itself is a priceless Ma'ala! Especially Bizyonos!
When a person was Chayav: מַלְקוּת Malkus in Bais Din, he had to undergo tremendous physical pain; and they could almost kill him (Chazal). But if he got embarrassed in Bais Din then he’s Patur completely! (Mishna). The next time you have Bizyonos in your life, be happy instead of sad!
