Listen to Gênesis 29:26
26 Labão respondeu: “Aqui não é costume entregar em casamento a filha mais nova antes da mais velha.

Gênesis 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?

Gênesis 29:26 In-Context

24 Labão também entregou sua serva Zilpa à sua filha, para que ficasse a serviço dela.
25 Quando chegou a manhã, lá estava Lia. Então Jacó disse a Labão: “Que foi que você me fez? Eu não trabalhei por Raquel? Por que você me enganou?”
26 Labão respondeu: “Aqui não é costume entregar em casamento a filha mais nova antes da mais velha.
27 Deixe passar esta semana de núpcias e daremos a você também a mais nova, em troca de mais sete anos de trabalho”.
28 Jacó concordou. Passou aquela semana de núpcias com Lia, e Labão lhe deu sua filha Raquel por mulher.
