Genesis 29:15-20
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.
