מַלֵּ֖א שְׁבֻ֣עַ זֹ֑את וְנִתְּנָ֨ה לְךָ֜ גַּם־אֶת־זֹ֗את בַּעֲבֹדָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲבֹ֣ד עִמָּדִ֔י ע֖וֹד שֶֽׁבַע־שָׁנִ֥ים אֲחֵרֽוֹת׃
Genapilah dahulu tujuh hari bagi yang ini, maka kami akan memberikan kepadamu yang itu juga, sebagai imbalan atas pekerjaan yang akan kaulakukan padaku tujuh tahun lagi.”
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
Rabbi José said: From whom do we learn of the seven days of banquet? From our father Jacob. For when our father Jacob married Leah, he made a banquet with rejoicing for seven days, as it is said, "Fulfil the week of this one" (Gen. 29:27).
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
Jacob began to serve for a wife for seven years. He made a banquet and rejoicing for seven days, and married Rachel, as it is said, "Fulfil the week of this one" (Gen. 29:27). "And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of this one" (Gen. 29:28). All the men of the place were gathered together to show loving-kindness to our father Jacob, as it is said, "And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast" (Gen. 29:22).
