Genesis 29:15-20

15And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Because thou art my brotherH251, shouldest thou therefore serveH5647 me for nought? tellH5046 me, what shall thy wagesH4909 be? 16And LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323: the nameH8034 of the elder was LeahH3812, and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 was RachelH7354. 17And Leah’s eyesH5869 wereH1961 tenderH7390; but RachelH7354 wasH1961 beautifulH3303 and well favored. 18And JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354; and he saidH559, I will serveH5647 thee sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354 thy youngerH6996 daughterH1323. 19And LabanH3837 saidH559, It is betterH2896 that I giveH5414 her to thee, than that I should giveH5414 her to another manH376: abide with me. 20And JacobH3290 servedH5647 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354; and they seemed unto him but a few daysH3117, for the loveH157 he had to her.
