Genesis 29:21-27
21Then Jacob said to Laban, “Since my time is complete, give me my wife, so I can sleep with her.”
22So Laban invited all the men of the place and sponsored a feast.
23That evening, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
24And Laban gave his slave Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her slave.
25When morning came, there was Leah! So he said to Laban, “What have you done to me? Wasn’t it for Rachel that I worked for you? Why have you deceived me?”
26Laban answered, “It is not the custom in our country to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.
27Complete this week of wedding celebration, and we will also give you this younger one in return for working yet another seven years for me.”
