Génesis 29:26-29

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.
29 Y Labán dio su sierva Bilha a su hija Raquel como sierva.

Génesis 29:26-29 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 29

This chapter informs us of Jacob's coming to a well near Haran, where meeting with some shepherds he inquires after Laban, Ge 29:1-8; and there also with Rachel his daughter, the shepherds made known to him, and acquainted her who he was, Ge 29:9-12; upon which she ran to her father, and told him who was at the well, who went forth and brought him to his house, and kindly entertained him, Ge 29:13,14; with whom he agreed to stay and serve seven years for Rachel his daughter, Ge 29:15-20; at the end of which Jacob demands his wife, but instead of Rachel, Leah was brought to him as his wife, Ge 29:21-25; which being discovered, and complained of, it was proposed he should have Rachel also, provided he would serve yet seven years more, to which he agreed, Ge 29:26-30; and the chapter is concluded with an account of four sons being born to Jacob of Leah, Ge 29:31-35.
