Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you yourself know my service which I have rendered you.”
Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.
Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done by deceiving me and carrying away my daughters like captives of the sword?
Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, because I said, ‘Lest you take your daughters from me by force.’
You also know that I have served your father with all my power.
¶Now Jacob fled to the field of Aram, And Israel worked for a wife, And for a wife he kept sheep.
