And Jacob, loving her, said, "I will serve you for seven years, for your younger daughter Rachel."
And, having at last obtained the marriage he desired, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and he served with him another seven years.
And he said to Jacob: "Why have you acted this way, departing from me in secret, with my daughters like captives of the sword?

And you know that I have served your father with all my strength.
Jacob fled into the region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.
