Genesis 29:22-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. And he, having called a great crowd of his friends to the feast, agreed to the marriage.

23. And at night, he brought in his daughter Leah to him,

24. giving his daughter a handmaid named Zilpah. After Jacob had gone in to her, according to custom, when morning had arrived, he saw Leah.

25. And he said to his father-in-law, "What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?"

26. Laban responded, "It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.

27. Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years."
