Genesis 29:20

Verse 20 of 35. The 29th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”

19Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”

20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

21Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”

22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

23In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.

24Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
