Genesis 29:12-30

12HeH3290 toldH5046 RachelH7354 thatH3588 he wasH1931 Rebekah’sH7259H1931 sonH1121H3588, a relativeH251 of her fatherH1, and she ranH7323 and toldH5046 her fatherH1.

13

When LabanH3837 heardH8085 the newsH8088 about his sister’sH269 sonH1121 JacobH3290, he ran outH7323 to meet himH7122. He embracedH2263 him and kissedH5401 him and brought himH935 toH413 his homeH1004, where Jacob toldH5608 himH3837 allH3605 that had happenedH1697H428.

14Then LabanH3837 declaredH559, “You areH859 indeedH389 my own fleshH1320 and bloodH6106.”

After Jacob had stayedH3427 with himH5973 a monthH2320H3117, 15LabanH3837 saidH559 to himH3290, “Just becauseH3588 you areH859 my relativeH251, should you workH5647 for nothingH2600? TellH5046 me whatH4100 your wages should beH4909.”

16Now LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323; the olderH1419 was namedH8034 LeahH3812, and the youngerH6996 was namedH8034 RachelH7354. 17LeahH3812 had weakH7390 eyesH5869,1 but RachelH7354 wasH1961 shapelyH3303H8389 and beautifulH3303H4758. 18Since JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354, he answeredH559, “I will serveH5647 you sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for your youngerH6996 daughterH1323 RachelH7354.”

19LabanH3837 repliedH559, “BetterH2896 that I giveH5414 herH853 to you thanH5414 to anotherH312. Stay hereH3427 with meH5978.” 20So JacobH3290 servedH5647 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354, yet it seemedH1961 but a fewH259 daysH3117 because of his loveH160 for herH853.

21Finally JacobH3290 saidH559 toH413 LabanH3837, “GrantH3051 meH853 my wifeH802, forH3588 my timeH3117 is completeH4390, and I want to sleep withH935 herH413.”

22

So LabanH3837 invited allH3605 the menH582 of that placeH4725 and preparedH6213 a feastH4960. 23But whenH1961 evening cameH6153, Laban tookH3947 his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 and gaveH935 herH853 to JacobH413, and he slept withH935 herH413. 24And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 his servant girlH8198 ZilpahH2153 to his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 as her maidservantH8198.

25When morningH1242 cameH1961, thereH2009H1931 was LeahH3812! “WhatH4100H2063 have you doneH6213 to me?” Jacob saidH559 toH413 LabanH3837. “Wasn’tH3808 it for RachelH7354 that I servedH5647 youH5973? WhyH4100 have you deceived meH7411?”

26LabanH3837 repliedH559, “It is notH3808 our customH6213H3651 hereH4725 to give the younger daughterH6810 in marriageH5414 beforeH6440 the olderH1067. 27FinishH4390 thisH2063 week’s celebrationH7620H1571, and we will giveH5414 you the younger oneH2063 in return forH5647 anotherH5750H312 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of workH5656.”

28And JacobH3290 didH6213 just thatH3651. He finishedH4390 the week’s celebrationH7620H2063, and Laban gaveH5414 himH853 his daughterH1323 RachelH7354 as his wifeH802. 29Laban alsoH3837 gaveH5414 his servant girlH8198 BilhahH1090 to his daughterH1323 RachelH7354 as her maidservantH8198.

30Jacob slept withH935H413 RachelH7354 as wellH1571, and indeedH1571, he lovedH157 RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812. So he workedH5647 forH5973 LabanH5750 anotherH312 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
