18. And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19. Lahan answered: It is better that I give her thee than to another man; stay with me.
20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
21. And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22. And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
23. And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
24. Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zalpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
25. And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?
26. Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
27. Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years.
28. He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
29. To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
