Genesis 29:29 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:29

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to
be her maid.

Genesis 29:29 In-Context

27 Finish the week of wedding festivities with this daughter. Then we will give you the other one too. But you'll have to work for me another seven years."
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.
