Genesis 29:18-21
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.”
Genesis 29:28
29:28 Jacob did as Laban said. When Jacob completed Leah’s bridal week, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.

30:23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then she said, “God has taken away my shame.”
30:24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me yet another son.”
The Flocks of Jacob
30:25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so that I can go home to my own country.
Genesis 35:16-18
35:16 They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away, Rachel went into labor – and her labor was hard.
35:17 When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.”
35:18 With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.
