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 Jacob fit ainsi, et il acheva la semaine avec Léa; puis Laban lui donna pour femme Rachel, sa fille.

29 Et Laban donna pour servante à Rachel, sa fille, Bilha, sa servante.

30 Jacob alla aussi vers Rachel, qu'il aimait plus que Léa; et il servit encore chez Laban pendant sept nouvelles années.

31 L'Eternel vit que Léa n'était pas aimée; et il la rendit féconde, tandis que Rachel était stérile.

32 Léa devint enceinte, et enfanta un fils, à qui elle donna le nom de Ruben; car elle dit: L'Eternel a vu mon humiliation, et maintenant mon mari m'aimera.
