Génesis 29:26

Listen to Génesis 29:26
26 Y Labán respondió: No se acostumbra en nuestro lugar dar a la menor antes que a la mayor.

Génesis 29:26 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:26

And Laban said, it must not be so done in, our country
Or "in our place" F19; in this our city it is not usual and customary to do so; he does not deny what he had done in beguiling him, nor the agreement he had made with him, but pleads the custom of the place as contrary to it:

to give the younger,
that is, in marriage,

before the firstborn;
but it does not appear there was any such custom, and it was a mere evasion; or otherwise, why did not he inform him of this when he asked for Rachel? and why did he enter into a contract with him, contrary to such a known custom? and besides; how could he have the nerve to call the men of the city, and make a feast for the marriage of his younger daughter, if this was the case?

Génesis 29:26 In-Context

24 Y Labán dio su sierva Zilpa a su hija Lea como sierva.
25 Cuando fue de mañana, he aquí que era Lea. Y Jacob dijo a Labán: ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho? ¿No fue por Raquel que te serví? ¿Por qué, pues, me has engañado?
26 Y Labán respondió: No se acostumbra en nuestro lugar dar a la menor antes que a la mayor.
27 Cumple la semana nupcial de ésta, y te daremos también la otra por el servicio que habrás de rendirme aún otros siete años.
28 Así lo hizo Jacob, y cumplió la semana de ella; y él le dio a su hija Raquel por mujer.
