Ibn Ezra on Genesis 29:12/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ״ט:י״ב
אויגד יעקב לרחל. מאוחר וטעמו וכבר הגיד יעקב לרחל, ואחר כן וישק ורבים כמוהו:
1AND JACOB TOLD RACHEL. And Jacob told Rachel should have been written before And Jacob kissed Rachel (v. 11). Its meaning is: And Jacob had already told Rachel that he was her father’s brother before he kissed her.13 is a pluperfect. There are many such instances in Scripture.14
