19. Laban said, "I’d rather give her to you than to another man. Stay with me."
20. Jacob worked for Rachel for seven years, but it seemed like a few days because he loved her.
21. Jacob said to Laban, "The time has come. Give me my wife so that I may sleep with her."
22. So Laban invited all the people of that place and prepared a banquet.
23. However, in the evening, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
24. Laban had given his servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her servant.
25. In the morning, there she was—Leah! Jacob said to Laban, "What have you done to me? Didn’t I work for you to have Rachel? Why did you betray me?"
26. Laban said, "Where we live, we don’t give the younger woman before the oldest.
27. Complete the celebratory week with this woman. Then I will give you this other woman too for your work, if you work for me seven more years."
28. So that is what Jacob did. He completed the celebratory week with this woman, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.
29. Laban had given his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her servant.
30. Jacob slept with Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He worked for Laban seven more years.
31. When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb; but Rachel was unable to have children.
