And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”

Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַעֲבַדְתַּ֖נִי (וַ) va. “and”

And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.

וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

וַיַּעֲבֹ֧ד (וַ) va “and”וַיִּהְי֤וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.

וַיֶּאֱסֹ֥ף (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.

וַיְהִ֣י (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקַּח֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֖א (וַ) va “and”

And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.

וַיִּתֵּ֤ן (וַ) va “and”

And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

וַיְהִ֣י (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.

וְנִתְּנָ֨ה (וְ) ve. “so”

And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.

And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.

וַיִּתֵּ֤ן (וַ) va “and”

Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.

Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.

וַיַּ֤רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְתַּ֖ח (וַ) va “and”

And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

וַתַּ֤הַר (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣לֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּקְרָ֥א (וַ) va. “and”

Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

וַתַּ֣הַר (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣לֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּתֶּן־ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּקְרָ֥א (וַ) va. “and”

And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

וַתַּ֣הַר (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣לֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.

וַתַּ֨הַר (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֣לֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֖ד (וַֽ) va. “and”

Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

וַתֵּ֣רֶא (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּקַנֵּ֥א (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?

וַיִּֽחַר־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.

וַתֹּ֕אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.

וַתִּתֶּן־ (וַ) va. “and”וַיָּבֹ֥א (וַ) va “and”

And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.
