Jacob serves Laban for Rachel

Back to 'Genesis

Ge 29:15: And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

Ge 29:16: And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Ge 29:17: Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

Ge 29:18: And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

Ge 29:19: And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

Ge 29:20: And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
