Genesis 29:18-30
18And JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354, and 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 wereH1961 in his eyesH5869 as single daysH3117, because he lovedH157 her.
21And JacobH3290 saidH559 to LabanH3837, GiveH3051 [me] my wifeH802, for my daysH3117 are fulfilled, that I may goH935 in to her.
22And LabanH3837 gatheredH622 together all the menH376 of the placeH4725, and madeH6213 a feastH4960.
23And it cameH935 to pass in the eveningH6153, that he tookH3947 LeahH3812 his daughterH1323, and broughtH935 her to him; and he wentH935 in to her.
24And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 to her ZilpahH2153, his maidservantH8198, to be maidservantH8198 to LeahH3812 his daughterH1323.
25And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that behold, it wasH1961 LeahH3812. And he saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not servedH5647 thee for RachelH7354? WhyH4100 then hast thou deceived me?
26And LabanH3837 saidH559, It is not soH3651 done in our placeH4725, to giveH5414 the youngerH6810 before the firstbornH1067.
27Fulfil the weekH7620 [with] this oneH834: then we will giveH5414 thee the otherH312 oneH834 alsoH1571, for the serviceH5656 that thou shalt serveH5647 me yetH5750 sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
28And JacobH3290 did soH3651, and fulfilled the weekH7620 [with] this one, and he gaveH5414 him RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 to be his wifeH802.
29And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 to RachelH7354 his daughterH1323, BilhahH1090, his maidservantH8198, to be her maidservantH8198.
30And he wentH935 in alsoH1571 to RachelH7354; and he lovedH157 alsoH1571 RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812. And he servedH5647 with him yetH5750 sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
