"He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife. "
— Genesis 29:28, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.”
“And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife. ”
“Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.”
“Jacob did as Laban said. When Jacob completed Leah’s bridal week, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.”
“He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:”
“And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.”
“And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.”
And he said to his father-in-law, “What is it that you intended to do? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why have you deceived me?”
Laban responded, “It is not the practice in this place to give the younger in marriage first.
Complete a week of days with this mating. And then I will give this one to you also, for the service that you will provide to me for another seven years.”
He agreed to his pleading. And after the week had passed, he took Rachel as a wife.
To her, the father had given Bilhah as her servant.
And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
But the Lord, seeing that he despised Leah, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
