The phrase "wrestlings have I wrestled" is an idiom used for emphasis. It is also a metaphor that compares a physical fight with Rachel's attempts to have a child like her sister has. It could be translated as "I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, Leah." (UDB) (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
