LabanLeahRachel
Integrity

23 Men da kvelden kom, tok han sin datter Lea og brakte henne til Jakob, og Jakob var med henne.

24 Laban ga sin tjenestepike Silpa til sin datter Lea som hennes tjenestepike.

Da morgenen kom, var det Lea! Så Jakob sa til Laban: «Hva har du gjort mot meg? Var det ikke for Rakel jeg tjente deg? Hvorfor har du lurt meg?»

26 Laban sa: «Det er ikke vår skikk her å gi den yngre datteren i ekteskap før den eldste.

27 Fullfør denne brudeuken, så skal vi gi deg den andre også, i bytte mot ytterligere syv års arbeid.»
