Bible: Genesis 29:20-26

29:20 So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. 1  But they seemed like only a few days to him 2  because his love for her was so great. 3 

29:21 Finally Jacob said 4  to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. 5  I want to have marital relations with her.” 6  29:22 So Laban invited all the people 7  of that place and prepared a feast. 29:23 In the evening he brought his daughter Leah 8  to Jacob, 9  and Jacob 10  had marital relations with her. 11  29:24 (Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.) 12 

29:25 In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! 13  So Jacob 14  said to Laban, “What in the world have you done to me! 15  Didn’t I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked 16  me? 29:26 It is not our custom here,” 17  Laban replied, “to give the younger daughter in marriage 18  before the firstborn.
