Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 29:18-25 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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.”

22. So Laban gathered all the men of the place and he prepared a feast.

23. When it was evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to him, and he went to her.

24. Laban also gave her Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a female servant.

25. So when it was morning, behold there she was, Leah! So he said to Laban, “What is this you’ve done to me? Wasn’t it for Rachel that I worked with you? So why have you deceived me?”
