Genesis 29:17-19

Contemporary English Version

^16-17 Laban had two daughters. Leah was older than Rachel, but her eyes didn't sparkle,^[a] while Rachel was beautiful and had a good figure. ¹⁸ Since Jacob was in love with Rachel, he answered, “If you will let me marry Rachel, I'll work seven years for you.”

¹⁹ Laban replied, “It's better for me to let you marry Rachel than for someone else to have her. So stay and work for me.”
