Genesis 29:15-20

15And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, BecauseH3588 thou art my brotherH251, shouldest thou therefore serveH5647 meH5046 for nought? tellH5046 meH5046, whatH4100 shall thy wagesH4909 be?

16And LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323: the nameH8034 of the elderH1419 was LeahH3812, and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 was RachelH7354.

17And Leah’sH3812 eyesH5869 were tenderH7390; but RachelH7354 was beautifulH3303 and well favoured.

18And JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354; and he saidH559, I will serveH5647 thee sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354 thy youngerH6996 daughterH1323.

19And LabanH3837 saidH559, It is betterH2896 that I giveH5414 herH5414 to thee, thanH2896 that I should giveH5414 herH5414 to anotherH312 manH376: abideH3427 with meH5414.

20And JacobH3290 servedH5647 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354; and they seemedH5869 unto him but a fewH259 daysH3117, for the loveH157 he had to herH1961.
