Genesis 29:21-28
21Then JacobH3290 saidH559 to LabanH3837, “GiveH3051 me my wifeH802, for my 1timeH3117 is completedH4390, that I may 2goH935 in to her.”
22LabanH3837 gatheredH622 allH3605 the menH376 of the placeH4725 and madeH6213 a feastH4960.
23Now in the eveningH6153 he tookH3947 his daughterH1323 LeahH3812, and broughtH935 her to him; and Jacob wentH935 in to her.
24LabanH3837 also gaveH5414 his maidH8198 ZilpahH2153 to his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 as a maidH8198.
25So it cameH1961 about in the morningH1242 that, beholdH2009, it was LeahH3812! And he saidH559 to LabanH3837, “3WhatH4100 is thisH2088 you have doneH6213 to me? Was it not for RachelH7354 that I servedH5647 with you? WhyH4100 then have you 4deceivedH7411 me?”
26But LabanH3837 saidH559, “It is not 5the practiceH6213H3651 in our placeH4725 to 6marryH5414 offH5414 the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067.
27CompleteH4390 the weekH7620 of thisH2088 oneH2088, and we will giveH5414 you the otherH2088 alsoH1571 for the serviceH5656 whichH834 7you shall serveH5647 with me for anotherH312 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.”
28JacobH3290 didH6213 soH3651 and completedH4390 her weekH7620, and he gaveH5414 him his daughterH1323 RachelH7354 as his wifeH802.
