29:21 Finally Jacob said 6 to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. 7 I want to have marital relations with her.” 8 29:22 So Laban invited all the people 9 of that place and prepared a feast. 29:23 In the evening he brought his daughter Leah 10 to Jacob, 11 and Jacob 12 had marital relations with her. 13 29:24 (Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.) 14
29:25 In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! 15 So Jacob 16 said to Laban, “What in the world have you done to me! 17 Didn’t I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked 18 me?” 29:26 “It is not our custom here,” 19 Laban replied, “to give the younger daughter in marriage 20 before the firstborn. 29:27 Complete my older daughter’s bridal week. 21 Then we will give you the younger one 22 too, in exchange for seven more years of work.” 23
29:28 Jacob did as Laban said. 24 When Jacob 25 completed Leah’s bridal week, 26 Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. 27 29:29 (Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.) 28 29:30 Jacob 29 had marital relations 30 with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban 31 for seven more years. 32
