Genesis 29:15-20
New King James Version
Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, (A)what should your wages be?” 16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah’s eyes were [a]delicate, but Rachel was (B)beautiful of form and appearance.
18 Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, (C)“I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”
19 And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.” 20 So Jacob (D)served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.
