Genesis 29:21-27 ▼

21 And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;

22 and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.

23 And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;

24 and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.

25 And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”

26 And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;

27 fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
