Genesis 29:23-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

25. And it happened that in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Now why did you deceive me?”

26. Then Laban said, “It is not the custom in our country to give the younger before the firstborn.

27. Complete the week of this one, then I will also give you the other, on the condition that you will work for me another seven years.”

28. And Jacob did so. So he completed the week of this one, then he gave Rachel his daughter to him as a wife.

29. And Laban gave Bilhah his female servant to Rachel his daughter as a female servant.

30. Then he also went in to Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.
