Genesis 29:19–30

¹⁹And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me.”

²⁰So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they were in his sight but a few days ^abecause of his love for her.

Laban Deceives Jacob

²¹Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may ^ago in to her.”

²²And Laban gathered all the men of the place and made a feast.

²³Now it happened in the evening that he took his daughter Leah and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her.

²⁴Laban also gave his servant-woman Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a servant-woman.

²⁵Now it happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “^aWhat is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you ^bdeceived me?”

²⁶But Laban said, “It is not ¹the practice in our place to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁷“Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which ^ayou shall serve with me for another seven years.”

²⁸And Jacob did so and fulfilled her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

²⁹Laban also gave his servant-woman Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her servant-woman.

³⁰So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed ^ahe loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with ¹Laban for ^banother seven years.
