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."
22. So Laban brought all of the people of the place together and had a big dinner prepared.
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.
25. When Jacob woke up the next morning, there was Leah next to him! So he said to Laban, "What have you done to me? I worked for you to get Rachel, didn't I? Why did you trick me?"
26. Laban replied, "It isn't our practice here to give the younger daughter to be married before the older one.
27. Complete this daughter's wedding week. Then we'll give you the younger one also. But you will have to work for another seven years."
28. So Jacob did it. He completed the week with Leah. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
29. Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her servant.
30. Jacob made love to Rachel also. He loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And he worked for Laban for another seven years.
