16Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Richel.

    17But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.

    18And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

    19Lahan answered: It is better that I give her thee than to another man; stay with me.

    20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.

    21And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

    22And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.

    23And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,

    24Giving 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:

    25And 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?

    26Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.

    27Make 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.

    28He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:

    29To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.

    30And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years.
