Genesis 29:23-27

23Now in the eveningH6153 he tookH3947 his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 and broughtH935 her to him; and Jacob hadH935 relationsH935 withH935 her.

24LabanH3837 also gaveH5414 his femaleH8198 slaveH8198 ZilpahH2153 to his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 as a slaveH8198.

25So it cameH1961 aboutH1961 in the morningH1242 that, beholdH2009, it was LeahH3812! And he saidH559 to LabanH3837, “1WhatH4100 is thisH2088 that you have doneH6213 to me? Was it not for RachelH7354 that I servedH5647 with you? WhyH4100 then have you 2deceivedH7411 me?”

26But LabanH3837 saidH559, “It is not 3the practiceH6213H3651 in our placeH4725 to 4marryH5414 offH5414 the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067.

27CompleteH4390 the weekH7620 of thisH2088 oneH2088, and we will giveH5414 you the otherH2088 alsoH1571 for the serviceH5656 whichH834 5you shall serveH5647 with me, for anotherH312 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.”
