Genesis 29:14-24 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

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?

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

17. And Leah’s eyes were tender. But Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

24. And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
