16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the older one was Leah, and the name of the younger one was Rachel.
17 Leah had attractive eyes, but Rachel had a beautiful figure and beautiful features.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. So he offered, “I’ll work seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19 Laban responded, “It’s better that I give her to you than to any other man. Stay with me.”
20 Jacob worked seven years in return for Rachel, but the years seemed like only a few days to him because he loved her.
21 ⌊At the end of the seven years⌋ Jacob said to Laban, “The time is up; give me my wife! I want to sleep with her.”
22 So Laban invited all the people of that place and gave a wedding feast.
