18 Since Jacob had fallen in love with Rachel, he said, |I'll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.| 19 Laban replied, |I'd rather give her to you than to another man. Stay with me.| 20 So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. But they seemed like only a few days to him because his love for her was so great. Genesis 29:18-20, New English Translation.
