SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:24

Y dio Labán su sierva Zilpa a su hija Lea por criada.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 29:24

Verse 24. And
Laban gave-Zilpah his maid] Slaves given in this way to a daughter on her marriage, were the peculiar property of the daughter; and over them the husband had neither right nor power.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-30 - During the month that
Jacob spent as a guest, he was not idle. Whereve we are, it is good to employ ourselves in some useful business. Laba was desirous that Jacob should continue with him. Inferior relation must not be imposed upon; it is our duty to reward them. Jacob mad known to Laban the affection he had for his daughter Rachel. And havin no wordly goods with which to endow her, he promises seven years service Love makes long and hard services short and easy; hence we rea of the labour of love, Heb 6:10. If we know how to value the happines of heaven, the sufferings of this present time will be as nothing to us. An age of work will be but as a few days to those that love God and long for Christ's appearing. Jacob, who had imposed upon his father, is imposed upon by Laban, his father-in-law, by a lik deception. Herein, how unrighteous soever Laban was, the Lord wa righteous: see Jud 1:7. Even the righteous, if they take a false step are sometimes thus recompensed in the earth. And many who are not, lik Jacob, in their marriage, disappointed in person, soon find themselves as much to their grief, disappointed in the character. The choice of that relation ought to be made with good advice and thought on bot sides. There is reason to believe that Laban's excuse was not true. Hi way of settling the matter made bad worse. Jacob was drawn into the disquiet of multiplying wives. He could not refuse Rachel, for he ha espoused her; still less could he refuse Leah. As yet there was n express command against marrying more than one wife. It was in the patriarchs a sin of ignorance; but it will not justify the lik practice now, when God's will is plainly made known by the Divine law Le 18:18, and more fully since, by our Saviour, that one man and woma only must be joined together, 1Co 7:2.
