Kjærlighet til andreEkteskap

16 Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.

17 Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.

Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19 Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”

20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.
