"Ad quam cum ex more Jacob fuisset ingressus, facto mane vidit Liam." -Gen. 29:24 C. Vulgate
"And when Jacob had entered into her according to custom, with morning being made, he beheld Lia."
My question here is about fuisset ingressus. I would have expected ingressus esset instead. Would you say the first is common, and would the two forms be any different in meaning?

Re: Gen. 29:24 C. Vulgate
Allen and Greenough’s New Latin Grammar 184
Fui, fuisti, etc., are sometimes used instead of sum, es, etc.; so also fueram instead of eram and fuero instead of ero. Similarly, in the Perfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive fuerim, fueris, etc. are sometimes used instead of sim, sis, etc., and fuissem instead of essem.
Corrections are welcome (especially for projects).
