Genesis 29:26 in Context — Genesis 29
24 Et Laban donna pour servante à Léa, sa fille, Zilpa, sa servante.
25 Le lendemain matin, voilà que c’était Léa. Alors Jacob dit à Laban: Qu’est-ce que tu m’as fait? N’est-ce pas pour Rachel que j’ai servi chez toi? Pourquoi m’as-tu trompé?
26 Laban dit: Ce n’est point la coutume dans ce lieu de donner la cadette avant l’aînée.
27 Achève la semaine avec celle-ci, et nous te donnerons aussi l’autre pour le service que tu feras encore chez moi pendant sept nouvelles années.
28 Jacob fit ainsi, et il acheva la semaine avec Léa; puis Laban lui donna pour femme Rachel, sa fille.
