Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 29:15-21 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

15. Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you, my relative, serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?”

16. Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17. Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.

18. Jacob was in love with Rachel, so he said, “Let me serve you for seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”

19. Laban said, “It’s better that I give her to you than I give her to another man! Stay with me.”

20. So Jacob worked for Rachel seven years, yet in his eyes it was like a few days, because of his love for her.

21. Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are completed, so I may go to her.”
