²¹ Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended. ²² And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast. ²³ And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her. ²⁴ And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman. ²⁵ And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me? ²⁶ And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.
