And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Labán dijo: 'En nuestro país no hacemos las cosas así, no damos en matrimonio a la hija menor antes que a la mayor.'
Labán explicó que en su cultura la hija mayor debía casarse antes que la menor.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical story, Jacob had agreed to work for Laban for seven years to marry Rachel, his younger daughter, as part of a deal to secure a wife and build his family. However, on the wedding night, Laban tricked Jacob by giving him Leah, the older daughter, instead, which led to conflict and further arrangements. This reflects ancient Near Eastern customs where birth order and family hierarchy were strictly observed, emphasizing that the firstborn typically received precedence in matters like marriage.
