15. Laban said to Jacob, “You shouldn't work for me for nothing just because you are my relative. How much pay do you want?”
16. Laban had two daughters; the elder was named Leah, and the younger Rachel.
17. Leah had lovely eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.
18. Jacob was in love with Rachel, so he said, “I will work seven years for you, if you will let me marry Rachel.”
19. Laban answered, “I would rather give her to you than to anyone else; stay here with me.”
20. Jacob worked seven years so that he could have Rachel, and the time seemed like only a few days to him, because he loved her.
21. Then Jacob said to Laban, “The time is up; let me marry your daughter.”
