Genesis 29:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ Well, Jacob was in love with Rachel. So he told her father, “I’ll work for you seven years if you’ll give me Rachel as my wife.”

¹⁹ “Agreed!” Laban replied. “I’d rather give her to you than to someone outside the family.”

²⁰ So Jacob spent the next seven years working to pay for Rachel. But they seemed to him but a few days, he was so much in love.
