Jacob fled to the country of Aram; Israel served to get a wife, and to pay for her he tended sheep.King James Bible
And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.American Standard Version
And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept'sheep .Young's Literal Translation
And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.Hosea 12:12 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleServed for a wife - Seven years for Rachel. For a wife he kept sheep - Seven years for Leah; having been cheated by Laban, who gave him first Leah, instead of Rachel; and afterwards made him serve seven years more before he would confirm his first engagement. Critics complain of want of connection here. Why is this isolated fact predicted? Thus, in a detached sentence, the prophet speaks of the low estate of their ancestors, and how amply the providence of God had preserved and provided for them. This is all the connection the place requires. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Jacob.
