But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her. (Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.) And in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?” Laban said, “It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.” Jacob did so, and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. (Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.) So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.
Comment: The wedding was a big affair and Rachel was not the star of the proceedings. It was a big feast mainly for the menfolk with the women waiting on them. It was dark when Jacob entered his darkened tent and lay with his awaited bride. In the light of the morn he saw not his beauty, his beloved Rachel in bed with him but the very ordinary looking older sister Leah. Was he drunk when he went to bed or at least tipsy? You can only imagine the roaring that went on between Jacob and Laban but in the end Jacob, a week later, had two wives but another seven years of labor for father-in-law. He had two wives and four women added to his household.
Prayer: Help me to avoid deception and not to be a deceiver.
As I read it!
