19and Laban saith, ‘It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell with me;’ 20and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her. 21And Jacob saith unto Laban, ‘Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;’ 22and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet. 23And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her; 24and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant. 25And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it is Leah; and he saith unto Laban, ‘What is this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?’ 26And Laban saith, ‘It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born; 27fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.’ 28And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife; 29and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her. 30And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.
