Genesis 29:27 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

We will give thee this also — Hereby he drew Jacob into the sin and snare, and disquiet of multiplying wives. Jacob did not design it, but to have kept as true to Rachel as his father had done to Rebekah; he that had lived without a wife to the eighty fourth year of his age could then have been very well content with one: but Laban to dispose of his two daughters without portions, and to get seven years service more out of Jacob, thus imposeth upon him, and draws him into such a strait, that he had some colourable reason for marrying them both.

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.
