Similar is allegedly happening w women using facial filters on Snapchat, tik tok, etc...This must be something like the trauma Jacob went through when he woke up to find LeahView attachment 4745

Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.

He was completely drunk.
Don't understand this. I see filters all the time. I know you do not really look like this.
I'm betting because of the fact that Leah was weak eyed that they were identical twins.
There is no other way I can imagine someone mistaking someone for another.

I can see how it’s very addictive for a young lady. Once she sees herself with perfect bone structure and flawless skin it’s hard to go back to her real self. I wish more young ladies realized how effective the biblical filter of a gentle and quiet spirit is for enhancing their natural beauty.
Is that something that’s common with twins, that one of them would have weak eyes?
My cousin did. They weren't identical....but sure looked like it! I don't know how common, but heard it can happen.
I just asked my Dr wife and she said No.
According to the book of Jasher, Leah and Rachel were twins, but, Leah was "tender eyed", which may mean lazy eyed, weak eyed etc
It was definitely dark because Laban had extinguished all the lights and told Jacob it was their custom so he ensured the chances of Jacob differentiating between the twins would be nigh on impossible.
I heard "tender eyed" means ugly. In the dark she had to have similar body figure for Jacob not to notice.
Probably very important is that Jacob was probably very horny. With soon-to-be-naked woman in front of him, he certainly wasn't in mood to check exactly which woman was in front of him.

My understanding also. Rachel was the more physically attractive sister. Tender eyed was probably an expression for unattractive.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. KJV
17 Leah’s eyes were [a]delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance. NKJV
So Jacob liked his woman to be physically appealing.
Nothing unusual about that. Rachel must have been quite something to look at to work a total of fourteen years for!We can conclude it's not wrong to want to have an attractive woman as one's wife (or several attractive women as wives
).
Not funny but
% facts!
My daughter is much like me.....she is not interested in having a sisterwife or thinking about that positively as a single gal of 21. Maybe the idea will appeal to her after she's married.Not funny but
How would Jacob know the difference since it was dark (the only way this would have worked) and since he'd never seen Rachel naked?
Leah was plain Jane and Rachel was beautiful and had a nice body to put it bluntly and in plain words. I’m sure he observed the differences between the two of them over 7 years.
