Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, - i.e. the harvest-field (ver. 14) - and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me (the Samaritan codex adds "this night," and the LXX. "today"); for surely I have hired thee (literally, hiring; I have hired thee) with my son's mandrakes. And (assenting to the arrangement of his wives) he lay with her that night.
