Genesis 29:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ Jacob was in love with Rachel, so he said, “I will work seven years for you, if you will let me marry Rachel.”

¹⁹ Laban answered, “I would rather give her to you than to anyone else; stay here with me.” ²⁰ Jacob worked seven years so that he could have Rachel, and the time seemed like only a few days to him, because he loved her.
