16. Laban had two daughters. The name of the older one was Leah. And the name of the younger one was Rachel.
17. Leah had weak eyes. But Rachel was beautiful. She had a nice figure.
18. Jacob was in love with Rachel. He said to Laban, "I'll work for you for seven years to get your younger daughter Rachel."
19. Laban said, "It's better for me to give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me."
20. So Jacob worked for seven years to get Rachel. But they seemed like only a few days to him because he loved her so much.
21. Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife. I've completed my time. I want to make love to her."

23. But when evening came, he gave his daughter Leah to Jacob. And Jacob made love to her.
24. Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter as her servant.
