Genesis 29:16-24

1. 16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

2. 17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

3. 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

4. 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

5. 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

6. 21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

7. 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

8. 23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

9. 24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
