“And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.”
So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast. The feast is the covenant celebration of the marriage — the community witnesses the union. The gathering of all the people is the public nature of the covenant act. The application: the covenant of marriage is public and communal, not merely private. The feast gathers the community to witness.
