Genesis 29:21-30

21⌞At the end of the seven years⌟ Jacob said to Laban, “The time is up; give me my wife! I want to sleep with her.”

22So Laban invited all the people of that place and gave a wedding feast.

23In the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob. Jacob slept with her. When morning came, he realized it was Leah.

24(Laban had given his slave Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her slave.)

25“What have you done to me?” Jacob asked Laban. “Didn’t I work for you in return for Rachel? Why did you cheat me?”

26Laban answered, “It’s not our custom to give the younger daughter ⌞in marriage⌟ before the older one.

27Finish the week of wedding festivities with this daughter. Then we will give you the other one too. But you’ll have to work for me another seven years.”

28That’s what Jacob did. He finished the week with Leah. Then Laban gave his daughter Rachel to him as his wife.

29(Laban had given his slave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her slave.)

30Jacob slept with Rachel too. He loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.
