Ki Savo, the holy Alshich interprets the statement above as Lavan fooled Yaakov Avinu by destroying his intentions. He gave him Leah instand of Rachel and thereby caused the jealousy of the shefotim. This would not have happened if he had given Rachel first. Yosef would have been the bechor, the firstborn and thereby the Bnei Yisrael would not have ended up in Mitzraim.
