26 Give me my wives and my children ^afor whom I have served you, that I may go, for you know the service that I have given you.”

15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? ^bTell me, what shall your wages be?” 16 Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah’s eyes were weak,¹ but Rachel was ^cbeautiful in form and appearance. 18 ^dJacob loved Rachel. And he said, “I will ^eserve you ^fseven years for your younger daughter Rachel.” 19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.” 20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

27 Complete the week of this one, and we will give you ^jthe other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
