24And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 unto his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 ZilpahH2153 his maidH8198 for an handmaidH8198.

25And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242, behold, it was LeahH3812: and he saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is this thou hast doneH6213 unto me? did not I serveH5647 with thee for RachelH7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiledH7411 me?

26And LabanH3837 saidH559, It must not be so doneH6213 in our countryH4725, to giveH5414 the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067.1
