^{18 Ref} And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.

^{19 Ref} And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.

^{20 Ref} And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

^{21 Ref} Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.

^{22 Ref} And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.

^{24 Ref} And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.

^{25 Ref} And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

^{27 Ref} Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.
