Genesis 29

Jacob arrives at Laban's household and falls in love with Rachel; he agrees to serve Laban seven years for Rachel's hand, but Laban deceives him by giving Leah instead, requiring Jacob to serve another seven years for Rachel, and Jacob fathers children through both wives and their handmaidens.
