22. And Lavan gathered together all the anshei hamakom, and made a mishteh (feast).

23. And it came to pass in the erev, that he took Leah his bat, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

24. And Lavan gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah shifchato (his maid) for a shifchah.

25. And it came to pass, that in the boker, hinei, it was Leah! And he said to Lavan, What is this thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel? So why then hast thou deceived me?

26. And Lavan said, It must not be so done in our land, to give the younger before the bechirah.

27. Finish her shvu'a (week), and we will give thee this also for the avodah (service, work) which thou shalt do for me yet sheva shanim acherot.
