Genesis 31:33 - Exposition

And Laban went into Jacob's taut, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maid-servants' tents ;—the clause affords an interesting glimpse into the manners of the times, showing that not only husbands and wives, but also wives among themselves, possessed separate establishments)— but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent (he probably commenced with Jacob's and those of the hand-maids, and afterwards passed into Leah's), and entered into Rachel's tent —last, because she was the favorite. Cf. Genesis 33:2 , in which a similar partiality towards Rachel is exhibited by Jacob.
