He married two of Laban's daughters- Rachel and Leah.
Why don't you actually pick up a Bible and read? It wouldn't hurt, you know.

Jacob married TWO of Laban's daughters; Leah first (he was tricked into that one...) and Rachel.
Jacob asked Laban for the hand of Rachel in marriage, and Laban agreed if Jacob would work for him for seven years first. However, when the wedding came, Leah (the "ugly" daughter - I always feel sorry for her that she's know for all time as being ugly!) was veiled and put in Rachel's place. After than, Jacob had to work ANOTHER seven years to marry Rachel! That's why today, a Jewish groom always looks at his bride's face - to be sure he's getting the right girl!

Genesis 29:16
Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Laban was a tricky person, so Jacob ended up with two wifes

he married two of Labans daughters because Laban tricked him into marrying Leah. it was only after Jacob worked seven more years for Laban would he let him marry Rachel, the girl that Jacob really loved.

Rachel and Leah were the two daughters of Laban that Jacob married-Genesis Chapter 29.

Jacob married 2 daughters of Laban
he worked 7 years to marry Rachel but Laban did a switcheroo so he married Rachel a couple of weeks later and then worked a further 7 years in repayment for her.
the elder one was Leah (meaning weak eyed) and he had 6 sons by her
the younger one was Rachel (meaning ewe) and he had 2 sons by her
he also took their maidservants and had 2 sons by each of them too

Rachel, the daughter of Laban, reads that Jacob and Rachel , were related.
Laban had another daughter named Leah.

He married both Laban's daughter. Leah first and then Rachel. His heart was more for Rachael though!

Yep, Jacob had agreed to work for Laban for seven years in order to be able to marry Rachael. But, Leah was the oldest so Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah. Then, Jacob had to work another seven years in order to get Laban to give him Rachael. Would any man, today, work for 14 years, for nothing but room and board, in order to marry the woman of his dreams?
EDIT: Sorry, said Isaac first when I meant Jacob. Isaac married Rebekah -- my daughter's name. I can't believe someone gave me a thumbs down just for that mistake. Sheesh!
