Bereshis 29:15-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. And Lavan said unto Ya'akov, Because thou art my relative, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy maskoret (wages) be?

16. And Lavan had two banot: the shem of the elder was Leah, and the shem of the younger was Rachel.

17. Leah had weak eyes; but Rachel was yafeh and lovely in form.

18. And Ya'akov loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee sheva shanim for Rachel thy bat haketannah (younger daughter).

19. And Lavan said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another ish; abide with me.

20. And Ya'akov served sheva shanim for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few yamim, because of the ahavah he had for her.
