The lesson here is the amazing selflessness and kindness of Rachel Imeinu in giving the simanim (prearranged signs) to her sister Leah.
The other lesson is the actual series of events that led to the births of the 12 Shevatim.
It isn’t always necessary to come up with esoteric explanations and inspirational messages.
Just reading and understanding the psukim in the Torah is beneficial to a person’s Neshama, and allows us to fulfill the Mitzvah of Torah study, even (and perhaps especially) without philosophizing and trying to insert our own uplifting or mystical speculations.
