Genesis 29:26-31 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. Laban said, "Where we live, we don’t give the younger woman before the oldest.

27. Complete the celebratory week with this woman. Then I will give you this other woman too for your work, if you work for me seven more years."

28. So that is what Jacob did. He completed the celebratory week with this woman, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

29. Laban had given his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her servant.

30. Jacob slept with Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He worked for Laban seven more years.

31. When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb; but Rachel was unable to have children.
