¹⁵ have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;

¹⁵ And Laban saith to Jacob, `Is it because thou `art' my brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what `is' thy hire.'

¹⁶ And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder `is' Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,

¹⁷ and the eyes of Leah `are' tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance.

¹⁸ And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, `I serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter:'

¹⁹ and Laban saith, `It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell with me;'

²⁰ and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.

²⁶ give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou -- thou hast known my service which I have served thee.'

²⁷ fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.'

²⁸ And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;

²⁹ and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.

³⁰ And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.

⁴¹ `This `is' to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;

⁷ `And when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants;

⁸ if evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing treacherously with her.

⁹ `And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right of daughters he doth to her.

¹⁰ `If another `woman' he take for him, her food, her covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw;

¹¹ and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone out for nought, without money.

⁸ and say to them, `We have acquired our brethren the Jews, those sold to the nations, according to the ability that `is' in us, and ye also sell your brethren, and they have been sold to us!' and they are silent, and have not found a word.
