29 Proverbs of Solomon 1 Genesis 29:1-35
1 Genesis 29:1-35
9And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her fathers sheep: for she kept them. 10And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheep of Laban his mothers brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the wells mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mothers brother. 11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs son: and she ran and told her father. 13And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sisters son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 15And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 16And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 18And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 21And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. 24And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. 25And it came to pass, that in the morning, 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? 26And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 28And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 33And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 34And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 35And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.(KJV) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
9And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them. 10And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father. 13And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 15And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 16And Laban had 2 daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 18And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee 7 years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 20And Jacob served 7 years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 21And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. 24And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. 25And it came to pass, that in the morning, 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? 26And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet 7 other years. 28And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet 7 other years. 31And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 33And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 34And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him 3 sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 35And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.(KJV/NC) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
13And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 15And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? Tell me, what shall thy wages be? 16And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17And Leah's eyes were tender. But Rachel was beautiful and well favored. 18And Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man. Abide with me. 20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 21And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. And he went in unto her. 24And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid. 25And 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? 26And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born. 27Fulfil 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. 28And jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife. 29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid. 30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb. But Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction. For now my husband will love me. 33And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon. 34And she conceived again, and bare a son. And said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore was his name called Levi. 35And she conceived again, and bare a son. And she said, This time will I praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.(ASV) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
9¶ And while he was still conversing with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess. 10And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob drew near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother. 11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father. 13And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. And Jacob related to Laban all these things. 14And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And t he stayed with him for a month. 15¶ And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore work for me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be? 16And Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel. 17And Leah had attractive eyes; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. 18And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter. 19And Laban said to him, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man; abide with me. 20Thus Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days because he was in love with her. 21And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22And so Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast. 23And it came to pass in the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in unto her. 24And Laban gave Zilpah his maid to his daughter Leah for a servant. 25And it came to pass in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this thing that you have done to me? Did not I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me? 26Then Laban said to Jacob, It is not so done in our country, to give the younger in marriage before the elder. 27Finish the wedding feast for this one, and then I will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me yet another seven years. 28And Jacob did so, and finished her wedding feast; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife. 29And Laban gave Bilhah his maid to Rachel his daughter to be her maid. 30And he went in unto Rachel also, and he loved Rachel also more than Leah, and served with Laban another seven years. 31¶ And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Because the LORD has seen my affliction, now therefore my husband will love me. 33And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also; so she called his name Simeon. 34And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time my husband will surely love me, because I have born him three sons therefore she called his name Levi. 35And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time I will praise the LORD; therefore she called his name Judah; and then she ceased bearing. (LAM) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
4Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, "We are from Haran." 5He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him." 6He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!" 7He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them." 8But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep." 9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. 10Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 11Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept aloud. 12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father. 13When Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things, 14and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month. 15Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?" 16Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely. 18Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel." 19Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me." 20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her. 21Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed." 22So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23But 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.) 25And 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?" 26Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born. 27Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years." 28Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife. 29(Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maid.) 30So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years. 31When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me." 33She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she called his name Simeon. 34Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore his name was called Levi. 35And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing.(RSV) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
4Jacob asked the shepherds, "My brothers, where are you from?" "We're from Haran," they replied. 5He said to them, "Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?" "Yes, we know him," they answered. 6Then Jacob asked them, "Is he well?" "Yes, he is," they said, "and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep." 7"Look," he said, "the sun is still high; it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture." 8"We can't," they replied, "until all the flocks are gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep." 9While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess. 10When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle's sheep. 11Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud. 12He had told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and a son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father. 13As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things. 14Then Laban said to him, "You are my own flesh and blood." After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month, 15Laban said to him, "Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be." 16Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was lovely in form, and beautiful. 18Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel." 19Laban said, "It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me." 20So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her. 21Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to lie with her." 22So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast. 23But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and Jacob lay with her. 24And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter as her maidservant. 25When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?" 26Laban replied, "It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one. 27Finish this daughter's bridal week; then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work." 28And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. 29Laban gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant. 30Jacob lay with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years. 31When the LORD saw that Leah was not loved, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, "It is because the LORD has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now." 33She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Because the LORD heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too." So she named him Simeon. 34Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." So he was named Levi. 35She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "This time I will praise the LORD." So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.(NIV) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
They said, 'We are from Haran.' 5He said to them, 'Do youP know Laban, the son of Nahor?' They said, 'We know him.' 6He said to them, 'Is it well with him?' They said, 'It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.' 7He said, 'Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the cattle together. WaterP the sheep, and go and feed them.' 8They said, 'We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.' 9While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them. 10It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 11Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father. 13It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things. 14Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. He lived with him for a month. 15Laban said to Jacob, 'Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?' 16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. 18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, 'I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.' 19Laban said, 'It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.' 20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her. 21Jacob said to Laban, 'Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.' 22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her. 24Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid. 25It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, 'What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?' 26Laban said, 'It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first born. 27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years.' 28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife. 29Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid. 30He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, 'Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me.' 33She conceived again, and bare a son, and said, 'Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.' She named him Simeon. 34She conceived again, and bare a son. Said, 'Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.' Therefore was his name called Levi. 35She conceived again, and bare a son. She said, 'This time will I praise Yahweh.' Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.(WEB) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
They said, 'We are from Haran.' 5He said to them, 'Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?' They said, 'We know him.' 6He said to them, 'Is it well with him?' They said, 'It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.' 7He said, 'Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.' 8They said, 'We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.' 9While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them. 10It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 11Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father. 13It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things. 14Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. He lived with him for a month. 15Laban said to Jacob, 'Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?' 16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive. 18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, 'I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.' 19Laban said, 'It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.' 20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her. 21Jacob said to Laban, 'Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.' 22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her. 24Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid. 25It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, 'What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?' 26Laban said, 'It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years.' 28Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife. 29Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid. 30He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, 'Because the LORD has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me.' 33She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, 'Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.' She named him Simeon. 34She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, 'Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.' Therefore was his name called Levi. 35She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, 'This time will I praise the LORD.' Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.(WEB/HNV) 1 Genesis 29:1-35
9And while he was still conversing with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess. 10And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob drew near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother. 11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father. 13And it came to pass when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. And Jacob related to Laban all these things. 14And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him for a month. 15And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore work for me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be? 16And Laban had 2 daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel. 17And Leah had attractive eyes; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. 18And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve you 7 years for Rachel, your younger daughter. 19And Laban said to him, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man; stay with me. 20Thus Jacob served 7 years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but one day because he was in love with her. 21And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go into her. 22And so Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast. 23And it came to pass in the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and Jacob went into her. 24And Laban gave Zilpah his maid to his daughter Leah for a servant. 25And it came to pass in the morning, look, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this thing that you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me? 26Then Laban said to Jacob, It is not done in our country, to give the younger in marriage before the elder. 27Finish the wedding feast for this one, and then I will also give you the other for the service which you will serve with me yet another 7 years. 28And Jacob did so, and finished her wedding feast; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. 29And Laban gave Bilhah his maid to Rachel his daughter to be her maid. 30And he also went into Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with Laban another 7 years. 31And when Yahvah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Yahvah has seen my affliction, now therefore my husband will love me. 33And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because Yahvah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore also given me this son; so she called his name Simeon. 34And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time my husband will surely love me, because I have born him 3 sons therefore she called his name Levi. 35And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time I will praise Yahvah; therefore she called his name Judah; and then she ceased bearing.
