uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

וּ⁠לְ⁠לָבָ֖ן שְׁתֵּ֣י בָנ֑וֹת

and,had,Laban two(fd) daughters

Verses 16-17 introduce background information for what happens in the verses that follow that. Translate this in a way that is natural and clear in your language. Alternate translation: “Now it so happened that Laban had two daughters:”

שֵׁ֤ם הַ⁠גְּדֹלָה֙ לֵאָ֔ה וְ⁠שֵׁ֥ם הַ⁠קְּטַנָּ֖ה רָחֵֽל

name_of the=big/large/great(fs) Lēʼāh and=name_of the,younger Rāḩēl

Alternate translation: “The name of the older daughter was Leah, and the younger daughter was Rachel.” or “The older one was named Leah and the younger daughter was named Rachel.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

29:14-30 Jacob’s joyful prospect of marriage to the lovely Rachel became an occasion for Laban’s shrewdness and Jacob’s discipline. Jacob and his mother had deceived his father and brother to gain the blessing; now his mother’s brother deceived him. Jacob received a dose of his own duplicity through twenty years of labor, affliction, and deception in Laban’s service (31:38). In God’s justice, people harvest what they plant (Gal 6:7). Laban’s deception was perfectly designed to make Jacob aware of his own craftiness. God often brings people into the lives of believers to discipline them. But Jacob was tenacious, and God blessed him abundantly with a large family and many possessions (30:25-43) during this time of service.
