Genesis 29:27 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Fulfil her week— i.e.. perfect this marriage with Leah, by keeping the solemnity of seven days feasting, which seems to have been the time allowed for marriage feasts; and this done, thou shalt solemnize thy marriage with Rachel also, on condition of serving me seven years more. It appears beyond all dispute that he was married to Rachel immediately after the expiration of the seven days, which the subsequent history, the birth of the children, &c. abundantly prove. Selden's paraphrase is: "Marriages are to be celebrated, according to custom, by a seven days feast: complete this marriage which thou hast begun with Leah; and then, upon condition of another seven years service, thou shalt marry Rachel also, and keep her wedding-feast seven days."

Genesis 29:27

27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
