Genesis29:23
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him, and he went in unto her .
The occasion of the deceit was the custom of those times, which was to bring the Bride to her Husband in the dark, and with a veil upon her face. See Gen. 24. 65. And Leah being instructed by her Father, and confederate with him in the deceit, was doubtless careful not to discover her self by speech or any other way to him.
