Therefore Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and the days seemed few to him for the greatness of (his) love.
21
And (at last) he said to Laban, Give thou my wife to me, for the time is fulfilled that I enter [in] to her.
22
And (so) when many companies of friends were called to the feast, he made [the] weddings,
23
and in the eventide Laban brought in to him Leah his daughter, (but in the evening, Laban brought in his daughter Leah to Jacob, but Jacob was too drunk to know,)
24
and gave an handmaid (and Laban gave his slave-girl), Zilpah by name, to his daughter.
25
And when Jacob had entered [in] to her (as) by custom, when the morrowtide was made, he saw Leah, and he said to his wife's father, What is it that thou wouldest do? whether I served not thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me? (And after Jacob had slept with his wife, as by custom, when the morning was made, he saw that it was Leah, and he said to his wife's father, What hast thou done to me? did I not serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?)
26
Laban answered, It is not custom in our place that we give first the younger daughter to weddings; (And Laban answered, It is not the custom in our place that we give the younger daughter first in a wedding;)
27
fulfill thou the week of days of this wedding, and I shall give to thee also this Rachel, for the work in which thou shalt serve me by other seven years. (so fulfill thou a week of days, or seven days, for this wedding, and then I shall also give thee Rachel, for the work in which thou shalt serve me for another seven years.)
28
Jacob assented to the covenant, and when the week was passed, he wedded Rachel,
29
to whom her father had given Bilhah (for) an handmaid. (to whom her father had given his slave-girl Bilhah.)
30
And at the last Jacob used the weddings desired, and set the love of the latter wife before the first; and Jacob served Laban seven other years. (And so at last Jacob had the desired wedding, and put the love of the latter wife ahead of the first wife; and Jacob served Laban for another seven years.)
