15. Laban said to Jacob, “Since you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall 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 tender, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
18. Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”
19. Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.
21. Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, so that I may have relations with her.”
22. Laban gathered together all the men of the place and prepared a feast.
23. But in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob had relations with her.
24. Laban gave Zilpah his maid to his daughter Leah for a maidservant.
25. In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah, and he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?”
