¹⁸ Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, ^(A)“I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”

¹⁹ And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.” ²⁰ So Jacob ^(B)served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.

^27 (A)Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years.”

³⁰ Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also ^(A)loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban ^(B)still another seven years.
