Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.
And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have cheated me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.
(Jacob fled to the land of Aram, there Israel did service for a wife, and for a wife he herded sheep.)
