New King James Version
25 So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you (A)deceived me?”
26 And Laban said, “It must not be done so in our [a]country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27 (B)Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years.”
28 Then Jacob did so and fulfilled her week. So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also. 29 And Laban gave his maid (C)Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid. 30 Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also (D)loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban (E)still another seven years.
The Children of Jacob
31 When the Lord (F)saw that Leah was [b]unloved, He (G)opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32 So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name [c]Reuben; for she said, “The Lord has surely (H)looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”

New International Version
25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me?(A) I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?(B)”
26 Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one.(C) 27 Finish this daughter’s bridal week;(D) then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.(E)”
28 And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.(F) 29 Laban gave his servant Bilhah(G) to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.(H) 30 Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah.(I) And he worked for Laban another seven years.(J)
Jacob’s Children
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved,(K) he enabled her to conceive,(L) but Rachel remained childless. 32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(M) She named him Reuben,[a](N) for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery.(O) Surely my husband will love me now.”
