Genesis 29:23 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He took Leah and brought her to him This deceit he might the more easily practise, as it was customary in those times to bring the bride to her husband veiled, and without lights. This guile of Laban undoubtedly sorely grieved Jacob; and perhaps it happened as a punishment to him for the guile he had used in supplanting his brother.

Genesis 29:23

23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
