Genèse 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.

Genèse 29:30 In-Context

28 Et Jacob fit ainsi, il acheva la semaine de celle-ci; puis Laban lui donna pour femme Rachel, sa fille.
29 Et Laban donna sa servante Bilha pour servante à Rachel, sa fille.
30 Il vint donc aussi vers Rachel, et il aima Rachel plus que Léa, et il servit chez Laban encore sept autres années.
31 Et l'Éternel, voyant que Léa était haïe, la rendit féconde; mais Rachel était stérile.
32 Et Léa conçut et enfanta un fils, qu'elle appela Ruben (voyez un fils! ). Car elle dit: L'Éternel a regardé mon affliction; maintenant mon mari m'aimera.
