Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely.
18
Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."
19
Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."
20
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.
21
Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."
22
So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23
But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.
24
(Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.)
25
And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
26
Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.
27
Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."
