| 15 | Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?|"
|
| 16 | Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
|
| 17 | Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.
|
| 18 | Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter."
|
| 19 | And Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
|
| 20 | So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.
|
| 21 | Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."
|
| 22 | And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
|
| 23 | Now it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.
|
| 24 | And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.
|
| 25 | So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?"
|
| 26 | And Laban said, "It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
|
| 27 | Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years."
|
| 28 | Then Jacob did so and fulfilled her week. So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also.
|
| 29 | And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid.
|
| 30 | Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven years.
