Genesis 29:24

Verse 24 of 35. The 29th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

21Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”

22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

23In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.

24Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.

25In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”

26Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”

28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
