Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 29:14-20

_ _ he abode a month — Among pastoral people a stranger is freely entertained for three days; on the fourth day he is expected to tell his name and errand; and if he prolongs his stay after that time, he must set his hand to work in some way, as may be agreed upon. A similar rule obtained in Laban’s establishment, and the wages for which his nephew engaged to continue in his employment was the hand of Rachel.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 29:9-14.
