Genesis 29:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ “Agreed!” Laban replied. “I’d rather give her to you than to someone outside the family.”

²⁰ So Jacob spent the next seven years working to pay for Rachel. But they seemed to him but a few days, he was so much in love. ²¹ Finally the time came for him to marry her.

“I have fulfilled my contract,” Jacob said to Laban. “Now give me my wife, so that I can sleep with her.”
