Genesis 29:18-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19. Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.”

20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

21. Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”

22. So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast.

23. But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her.
