Genesis 29:29

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

25In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”

26Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”

28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

29Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.

30He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.

31The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

32Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”

33She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
