Genesis 29:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Laban gathered all the men of the place His kindred and neighbours, according to custom, Judges 14:10-11; John 2:1-2. Probably he collected a greater number, that the marriage might be more solemn and public, and that Jacob, being overawed by their presence and authority, might not attempt to disannul the marriage and reject Leah, which otherwise he might have done.

Genesis 29:22

22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
