Genesis 29:14-30
Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel

14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

14:

15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be]?

15:

16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.

16:

17 Leah [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

17:

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

18:

19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

19:

20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.

20:

21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

21:

22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

22:

23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

23:

24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid [for] an handmaid.

24:

25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

25:

26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

26:

27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

27:

28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

28:

29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

29:

30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

30:
