Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 29
¹⁴ And Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him for a month.
¹⁵ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?"
¹⁶ Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
¹⁷ Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.
¹⁸ Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter."
¹⁹ And Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
²⁰ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.
²¹ Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."
²² And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
²³ Now it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.
²⁴ And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.
