Genesis 29:30 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:30

And he went in also unto Rachel
Cohabited with her as his wife:

and he loved also Rachel more than Leah;
she was his first love, and he retained the same love for her he ever had; as appears by his willingness to agree to the same condition of seven years' servitude more for her sake, and which he performed as follows:

and served with him, yet seven other years;
that is, Jacob served so many years with Laban after he had married his two daughters, and fulfilled the weeks of feasting for each of them.

Genesis 29:30 In-Context

28 That's what Jacob did. He finished the week with Leah. Then Laban gave his daughter Rachel to him as his wife.
29 (Laban had given his slave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her slave.)
30 Jacob slept with Rachel too. He loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.
31 When the LORD saw Leah was unloved, he made it possible for her to have children, but Rachel had none.
32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben [Here's My Son], because she said, "Certainly, the LORD has seen my misery; now my husband will love me!"
