Genesi 29:20-30

Listen to Genesi 29:20-30
20 E Giacobbe servì per Rachele lo spazio di sette anni; e quelli gli parvero pochi giorni, per l’amore ch’egli le portava.
21 E Giacobbe disse a Labano: Dammi la mia moglie; perciocchè il mio termine è compiuto; e lascia che io entri da lei.
22 E Labano adunò tutte le genti del luogo, e fece un convito.
23 Ma la sera prese Lea, sua figliuola, e la menò a Giacobbe; il quale entrò da lei.
24 E Labano diede Zilpa, sua serva, a Lea, sua figliuola, per serva.
25 Poi, venuta la mattina, ecco, colei era Lea. E Giacobbe disse a Labano: Che cosa è ciò che tu mi hai fatto? non ho io servito appo te per Rachele? perchè dunque mi hai ingannato?
26 E Labano gli disse: E’ non si suol far così appo noi, di dar la minore avanti la maggiore.
27 Fornisci pure la settimana di questa; e poi ti daremo ancora quest’altra, per lo servigio che tu farai in casa mia altri sett’anni.
28 Giacobbe adunque fece così; e fornì la settimana di quella; poi Labano gli diede ancora per moglie Rachele, sua figliluola.
29 E Labano diede Bilha, sua serva, a Rachele, sua figliola, per serva.
30 E Giacobbe entrò eziandio da Rachele, ed anche amò Rachele più che Lea, e servì ancora sett’altri anni appo Labano.

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.
