21 Jacob said to Laban, |Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her.| 22 Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast. 23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept with her. 24 Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant. 25 It happened in the morning that, look, it was Leah. He said to Laban, |What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you to have Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?| 26 Laban said, |It is not our custom here to give the younger before the firstborn. 27 Fulfill the week of this one, and I will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me another seven years.| Genesis 29:21-27, New Heart English Bible.
