²⁸ And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.^{(D) 29} Laban gave his servant Bilhah^(E) to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.^{(F) 30} Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah.^(G) And he worked for Laban another seven years.^(H)
