   The public marriage feast made on this occasion, seems to have
   formed the regular method of recognising the marriage, and
   lasted seven days:  it would therefore have been improper to
   have broken off the solemnities to which all the men of the

   keep the fraud from the public eye.  It is perfectly plain
   that Jacob did not serve seven years more before he got Rachel
   to wife.
