Genesis 29:15, 18, 20, 25, 27, 30

Laban said to him, “You shouldn’t work for me without pay just because we are relatives. Tell me how much your wages should be.”

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

So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days.

But when Jacob woke up in the morning—it was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob raged at Laban. “I worked seven years for Rachel! Why have you tricked me?”

“But wait until the bridal week is over; then we’ll give you Rachel, too—provided you promise to work another seven years for me.”

So Jacob slept with Rachel, too, and he loved her much more than Leah. He then stayed and worked for Laban the additional seven years.
