Genesis 29:25-30

25So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “1What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you 2deceived me?” 26But Laban said, “It is not 3the practice in our place to 4marry off the younger before the firstborn. 27Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which 5you shall serve with me for another seven years.” 28Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. 29Laban also gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maid. 30So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed 6he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with 7Laban for 8another seven years.
