Genesi 29:19-29

Listen to Genesi 29:19-29
19 E Labano rispose: "E’ meglio ch’io la dia a te che ad un altr’uomo; sta’ con me".
20 E Giacobbe servì sette anni per Rachele; e gli parvero pochi giorni, per l’amore che le portava.
21 E Giacobbe disse a Labano: "Dammi la mia moglie, poiché il mio tempo è compiuto, ed io andrò da lei".
22 Allora Labano radunò tutta la gente del luogo, e fece un convito.
23 Ma, la sera, prese Lea, sua figliuola, e la menò da Giacobbe, il quale entrò da lei.
24 E Labano dette la sua serva Zilpa per serva a Lea, sua figliuola.
25 L’indomani mattina, ecco che era Lea. E Giacobbe disse a Labano: "Che m’hai fatto? Non è egli per Rachele ch’io t’ho servito? Perché dunque m’hai ingannato?"
26 E Labano rispose: "Non è usanza da noi di dare la minore prima della maggiore. Finisci la settimana di questa;
27 e ti daremo anche l’altra, per il servizio che presterai da me altri sette anni".
28 Giacobbe fece così, e finì la settimana di quello sposalizio; poi Labano gli dette in moglie Rachele sua figliuola.
29 E Labano dette la sua serva Bilha per serva a Rachele, sua figliuola.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 29

This chapter informs us of Jacob's coming to a well near Haran, where meeting with some shepherds he inquires after Laban, Ge 29:1-8; and there also with Rachel his daughter, the shepherds made known to him, and acquainted her who he was, Ge 29:9-12; upon which she ran to her father, and told him who was at the well, who went forth and brought him to his house, and kindly entertained him, Ge 29:13,14; with whom he agreed to stay and serve seven years for Rachel his daughter, Ge 29:15-20; at the end of which Jacob demands his wife, but instead of Rachel, Leah was brought to him as his wife, Ge 29:21-25; which being discovered, and complained of, it was proposed he should have Rachel also, provided he would serve yet seven years more, to which he agreed, Ge 29:26-30; and the chapter is concluded with an account of four sons being born to Jacob of Leah, Ge 29:31-35.
