Genesis 29:26-30 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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.
