BrLXX Καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα, καὶ λαβὼν Λείαν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ, εἰσήγαγεν πρὸς Ἰακὼβ, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἰακώβ.
(Kai egeneto hespera, kai labōn Leian taʸn thugatera autou, eisaʸgagen pros Yakōb, kai eisaʸlthe pros autaʸn Yakōb. )
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.
וַיְהִ֣י בָעֶ֔רֶב
and=he/it_was in/on/at/with,evening
Alternate translation: “However this is what happened that evening:”
וַיִּקַּח֙ אֶת לֵאָ֣ה בִתּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֵ֥א אֹתָ֖הּ אֵלָ֑יו
and=he/it_took DOM Lēʼāh daughter,his and=he/it_brought DOM=her/it to=him/it
Alternate translation: “Laban took Leah to Jacob instead of Rachel,”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיָּבֹ֖א
and,went_in
Make sure it is clear in your translation that he refers here to Jacob, not Laban. Alternate translation: “so he” or “so that Jacob”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וַיָּבֹ֖א אֵלֶֽיהָ
and,went_in to,her
Make sure that your translation of he refers here to Jacob, not Laban. See how you translated the euphemism went to in Gen 16:4 (and “go to” in Gen 16:2 and 29:21). Translate this in a way that is natural, clear, and acceptable for reading in public. Alternate translation: “so that he had sexual relations with Leah.” or “so he slept with Leah.” or “spent the night with her”
