25. The next morning Jacob found out that he had married Leah, and he asked Laban, “Why did you do this to me? Didn't I work to get Rachel? Why did you trick me?”
26. Laban replied, “In our country the elder daughter must get married first.
27. After you spend this week with Leah, you may also marry Rachel. But you will have to work for me another seven years.”
28-30. At the end of the week of celebration, Laban let Jacob marry Rachel, and he gave her his servant woman Bilhah. Jacob loved Rachel more than he did Leah, but he had to work another seven years for Laban.
31. The Lord knew that Jacob loved Rachel more than he did Leah, and so he gave children to Leah, but not to Rachel.
32. Leah gave birth to a son and named him Reuben, because she said, “The Lord has taken away my sorrow. Now my husband will love me more than he does Rachel.”
