Génesis 29:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:24

And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid, [for]
an handmaid.
] It was usual to have many given them at this time, as Rebekah seems to have had, ( Genesis 24:59 Genesis 24:61 ) ; but Leah had but one, and this was all the portion Jacob had with her. The Targum of Jonathan is,

``and Laban gave her Zilpah his daughter, whom his concubine bore unto him:''

hence the Jews say F17, that the daughters of a man by his concubines are called maids.

Génesis 29:24 In-Context

22 Entonces Labán juntó a todos los varones de aquel lugar, e hizo banquete.
23 Y sucedió que a la noche tomó a Lea su hija, y se la trajo; y él entró a ella.
24 Y dio Labán su sierva Zilpa a su hija Lea por criada.
25 Y venida la mañana, he aquí que era Lea; y él dijo a Labán: ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho? ¿No te he servido por Raquel? ¿Por qué, pues, me has engañado?
26 Y Labán respondió: No se hace así en nuestro lugar, que se dé la menor antes de la mayor.
