God’s Word Translation
Genesis 29:15-20
15Then Laban said to him, “Just because you’re my relative doesn’t mean that you should work for nothing. Tell me what your wages should be.”
16Laban had two daughters. The name of the older one was Leah, and the name of the younger one was Rachel.
17Leah had attractive eyes, but Rachel had a beautiful figure and beautiful features.
18Jacob loved Rachel. So he offered, “I’ll work seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19Laban responded, “It’s better that I give her to you than to any other man. Stay with me.”
20Jacob worked seven years in return for Rachel, but the years seemed like only a few days to him because he loved her.
