Rachel was beautiful and well at Rachel erat pulchra forma, et (continued)

Rachel was beautiful and well at Rachel erat pulchra forma, et (continued)

JOHN CALVIN

16. And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

16. Et Laban erant duae filiae: nomen majoris, Leah, et nomen minoris Rachel.

17. Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

17. Oculi autem Leah erant teneri: at Rachel erat pulchra forma, et pulchra aspectu.

18. And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

18. Dilexit itaque Iahacob Rachel: et dixit, Serviam tibi septem annos pro Rachel filia tua minore.

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.

19. Tunc dixit Laban, Melius est ut dem eam tibi, quam dem eam viro alteri: mane mecum.

20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

20. Servivit itaque Iahacob pro Rachel septem annos; et fuerunt in oculis ejus sicut dies pauci, eo quod diligeret eam.

21. And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

21. Postea dixit Iahacob ad Laban, Da uxorem meam: quia completi sunt dies mei, ut ingrediar ad eam.

22. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

22. Et congregavit Laban omnes viros loci, et fecit convivium.

23. And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

23. Fuit autem vesperi, in vespera accepit Leah filiam suam, et adduxit eam ad illum, et ingressus est ad eam.
