Genesis 29:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Because of this, Jacob loved Rachel. He therefore said, “I will serve you for seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”

¹⁹ Laban answered, “I prefer to give her to you rather than to a stranger. Stay with me.” ²⁰ So Jacob served him for seven years for Rachel. He was so in love with her that it seemed only a few days.
