Genesis 29:18-28
29:18 Since Jacob had fallen in love with
Rachel, he said, “I’ll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.”
29:19 Laban replied, “I’d rather give her to you than to another man.
Stay with me.”
29:20 So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel.
But they seemed like only a few days to him
because his love for her was so great.
29:21 Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. I want to have marital relations with her.”
29:22 So Laban invited all the people of that place and prepared a feast.
29:23 In the evening he brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and Jacob had marital relations with her.
29:24 (Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)
29:25 In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What in the world have you done to me! Didn’t I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?”
29:26 “It is not our custom here,” Laban replied, “to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.
29:27 Complete my older daughter’s bridal week. Then we will give you the younger one too, in exchange for seven more years of work.”
29:28 Jacob did as Laban said. When Jacob completed Leah’s bridal week, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
Genesis 31:41
31:41 This was my lot
for twenty years in your house: I worked like a slave
for you – fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, but you changed my wages ten times!
