New Century Version

Genesis 29:19-24 New Century Version (NCV)

19. Laban said, “It would be better for her to marry you than someone else, so stay here with me.”

20. So Jacob worked for Laban seven years so he could marry Rachel. But they seemed like just a few days to him because he loved Rachel very much.

21. After seven years Jacob said to Laban, “Give me Rachel so that I may marry her. The time I promised to work for you is over.”

22. So Laban gave a feast for all the people there.

23. That evening he brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and they had sexual relations.

24. (Laban gave his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter to be her servant.)
