do you also understand what a hyperbole is?
hy·per·bo·le/hīˈpərbəlē/Noun: Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally
its expressions in writings. and the author of genesis stated jacob hated leah.
but it was not a hatred as we use today like muslims hate christians and want to kill them .... No it was a Love less
I love rachel more than i do leah.
so it has to be used in the context which is given, same goes for your point as well. i even showed you the lexicon definitions for some added spice

Ok, now I think I understand what hyperbole is. An example of Jesus and hyperbole would be....
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
