Commentary on Genesis 29:11

Theological / Devotional

Jacob kissed Rachel. The fact that Rachel did not resent Jacob’s conduct as an undue liberty suggests that he had already made his identity known to her. The first words of v. 12 could as well be rendered “Jacob had told Rachel,” a translation the Hebrew construction permits.
