Alternate translation: “But Laban said to him,” or “Laban responded,”

For some languages it is necessary to say what the custom is, rather than what it is not. For example, you could say, “Our custom/practice here is to wait until the firstborn/oldest daughter is married before we let the younger daughters/ones get married.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “It is not customary In our land” or “It is not the custom here”
לָתֵ֥ת הַצְּעִירָ֖ה
to,give the,younger
Alternate translation: “to give the younger daughter in marriage” or “to marry off the younger daughter”
לִפְנֵ֥י הַבְּכִירָֽה

Alternate translation: “before the oldest one marries.”
29:14-30 Jacob’s joyful prospect of marriage to the lovely Rachel became an occasion for Laban’s shrewdness and Jacob’s discipline. Jacob and his mother had deceived his father and brother to gain the blessing; now his mother’s brother deceived him. Jacob received a dose of his own duplicity through twenty years of labor, affliction, and deception in Laban’s service (31:38). In God’s justice, people harvest what they plant (Gal 6:7). Laban’s deception was perfectly designed to make Jacob aware of his own craftiness. God often brings people into the lives of believers to discipline them. But Jacob was tenacious, and God blessed him abundantly with a large family and many possessions (30:25-43) during this time of service.
