Jacob loved Rachel, so he answered Laban, ‘I’ll work for you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.’
Jacob slept with Rachel also, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.
Laban said to Jacob, ‘What have you done? You have deceived me and taken my daughters away like prisoners of war!
Jacob answered, ‘I was afraid, for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
Jacob fled to the territory of Aram. Israel worked to earn a wife; he tended flocks for a wife.
