Genesis 29:16 In-Context

14 respondit os meum es et caro mea et postquam expleti sunt dies mensis unius

15 dixit ei num quia frater meus es gratis servies mihi dic quid mercedis accipias

16 habebat vero filias duas nomen maioris Lia minor appellabatur Rahel

17 sed Lia lippis erat oculis Rahel decora facie et venusto aspectu

18 quam diligens Iacob ait serviam tibi pro Rahel filia tua minore septem annis
