"And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast." — Genesis 29:22 (ASV)

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place
Of the city of Haran, which may be understood of the chief and principal of them, to make the marriage of his daughter public and authentic:

and made a feast ;
a marriage or marriage feast, as the Septuagint version, see (Matthew 22:2) ; which was usual, when a marriage was solemnized, expressive of joy on that account.
