1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
