1And in the seventh year, Jacob’s service which he served Laban was completed, and Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for the days of my service are fulfilled; and Laban did so, and Laban and Jacob assembled all the people of that place and they made a feast.
2And in the evening Laban came to the house, and afterward Jacob came there with the people of the feast, and Laban extinguished all the lights that were there in the house.
3And Jacob said to Laban, Therefore dost you do this thing to us? and Laban answered, Such is our custom to act in this land.
4And afterward Laban took his daughter Leah, and he brought her to Jacob, and he came to her and Jacob did not know that she was Leah.
5And Laban gave his daughter Leah his maid Zilpah for a handmaid.
6And all the people at the feast knew what Laban had done to Jacob, but they did not tell the thing to Jacob.
7And all the neighbors came that night to Jacob’s house, and they ate and drank and rejoiced, and played before Leah upon timbrels, and with dances, and they responded before Jacob, Heleah, Heleah.
8And Jacob heard their words but did not understand their meaning, but he thought such might be their custom in this land.
