Genesis 29:8-25 The Message (MSG)

8. “We can’t,” they said. “Not until all the shepherds get here. It takes all of us to roll the stone from the well. Not until then can we water the flocks.”

19. “It is far better,” said Laban, “that I give her to you than marry her to some outsider. Yes. Stay here with me.”

20. So Jacob worked seven years for Rachel. But it only seemed like a few days, he loved her so much.

25. Morning came: There was Leah in the marriage bed!Jacob confronted Laban, “What have you done to me? Didn’t I work all this time for the hand of Rachel? Why did you cheat me?”
