Genesis 29:19–30

¹⁹Laban answered, “I would rather give her to you than to anyone else; stay here with me.” ²⁰Jacob worked seven years so that he could have Rachel, and the time seemed like only a few days to him, because he loved her.

²¹Then Jacob said to Laban, “The time is up; let me marry your daughter.” ²²So Laban gave a wedding feast and invited everyone. ²³But that night, instead of Rachel, he took Leah to Jacob, and Jacob had intercourse with her. ²⁴(Laban gave his slave woman Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maid.) ²⁵Not until the next morning did Jacob discover that it was Leah. He went to Laban and said, “Why did you do this to me? I worked to get Rachel. Why have you tricked me?”

²⁶Laban answered, “It is not the custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the elder. ²⁷Wait until the week’s marriage celebrations are over, and I will give you Rachel, if you will work for me another seven years.”

²⁸Jacob agreed, and when the week of marriage celebrations was over, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. ²⁹(Laban gave his slave woman Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maid.) ³⁰Jacob had intercourse with Rachel also, and he loved her more than Leah. Then he worked for Laban another seven years.
