*
And Jacob said unto Laban : '
Give me my wife ,
for my days are filled ,
that I may go in unto her .'
*
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place ,
and made a feast .
*
And it came to pass in the evening ,
that he took Leah his daughter ,
and brought her to him ;
and he went in unto her .
*
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid .
*
And it came to pass in the morning that ,
behold ,
it was Leah ;
and he said to Laban : '
What is this thou hast done unto me ?
did not I serve with thee for Rachel ?
wherefore then hast thou beguiled me ?'
*
And Laban said : '
It is not so done in our place ,
to give the younger before the first-born .
*
Fulfil the week of this one ,
and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years .'
*
And Jacob did so ,
and fulfilled her week ;
and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife .
*
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid .
*
And he went in also unto Rachel ,
and he loved Rachel more than Leah ,
and served with him yet seven other years .
