21 Jacob said to Laban, “The time is up, and I want to marry Rachel now!”
22 So Laban gave a big feast and invited all their neighbours.
23 But that evening he brought Leah to Jacob, who married her and spent the night with her.
24 Laban also gave Zilpah to Leah as her servant woman.
25 The next morning Jacob found out that he had married Leah, and he asked Laban, “Why did you do this to me? Didn't I work to get Rachel? Why did you trick me?”
26 Laban replied, “In our country the elder daughter must get married first.
27 After you spend this week with Leah, you may also marry Rachel. But you will have to work for me another seven years.”
