Genesis 29:18-24 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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

19. Then Laban said, “Better that I give her to you than I give her to another man. Stay with me.”

20. And Jacob worked for Rachel seven years, but they were as a few days in his eyes because he loved her.

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

22. So Laban gathered all the men of the place and prepared a feast.

23. And it happened that in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in to her.

24. And Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to her, to Leah his daughter as a female servant.
