Bible verses about "betrothal" | Darby

¹⁸ And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. ¹⁹ And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. ²⁰ And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her. ²¹ And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her. ²² And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. ²³ And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her. ²⁴ And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter. ²⁵ And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me? ²⁶ And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. ²⁷ Fulfil the week [with] this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years. ²⁸ And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week [with] this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife. ²⁹ And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant. ³⁰ And he went in also to Rachel; and he loved also Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet seven other years.
