Genesis 29:28 - Exposition

And Jacob aid so, and fulfilled her week . Literally, the week of this one , either of Leah or of Rachel, as above. Rosenmüller, assigning the first week ( Genesis 29:27 ) to Leah, refers this to Rachel; but the expression can scarcely have two different meanings within the compass of two verses. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also . The polygamy of Jacob, though contrary to the law of nature ( Genesis 2:21-25 ), admits of some palliation, since Rachel was the choice of his affections The marriage of sisters was afterwards declared incestuous (Le Genesis 18:18 ).
