Genesis 29:13-30

[13] And it came to pass, when Laban  heard  the tidings  of Jacob  his sister's  son,  that he ran  to meet  him, and embraced  him, and kissed  him, and brought  him to his house.  And he told  Laban  all these things.  [14] And Laban  said  to him, Surely  thou art my bone  and my flesh.  And he abode  with him the space  of a month.  [15] And Laban  said  unto Jacob,  Because thou art my brother,  shouldest thou therefore serve  me for nought?  tell  me, what shall thy wages  be? [16] And Laban  had two  daughters:  the name  of the elder  was Leah,  and the name  of the younger  was Rachel.  [17] Leah  was tender  eyed;  but Rachel  was beautiful  favoured.  [18] And Jacob  loved  Rachel;  and said,  I will serve  thee seven  years  for Rachel  thy younger  daughter.  [19] And Laban  said,  It is better  that I give  her to another  abide  with me. [20] And Jacob  served  seven  years  for Rachel;  and they seemed  unto him but a few  days,  [21] And Jacob  said  unto Laban,  Give  me my wife,  for my days  are fulfilled,  that I may go in  [22] And Laban  gathered together  all the men  of the place,  and made  a feast.  [23] And it came to pass in the evening,  that he took  Leah  his daughter,  and brought  [24] And Laban  gave  unto his daughter  Leah  Zilpah  his maid  [25] And it came to pass, that in the morning,  behold, it was Leah:  and he said  to Laban,  What is this thou hast done  unto me? did not I serve  with thee for Rachel?  wherefore then hast thou beguiled  me? [26] And Laban  said,  It must not be so done  in our country,  to give  the younger  before  the firstborn.  [27] Fulfil  her  week,  and we will give  thee this also for the service  which thou shalt serve  with me yet seven  other  years.  [28] And Jacob  did  so, and fulfilled  her week:  and he gave  him Rachel  his daughter  to wife  also. [29] And Laban  gave  to Rachel  his daughter  Bilhah  his handmaid  [30] And he went in  also unto Rachel,  and he loved  also Rachel  more than Leah,  and served  with him yet seven  other  years.
