(v. 20) "Jacob worked seven years in return for Rachel, but the years seemed like only a few days to him because he loved her." (v. 23) "In the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob. Jacob slept with her. When morning came, he realized it was Leah." (v. 25) " 'What have you done to me?' Jacob asked Laban. 'Didn't I work for you in return for Rachel? Why did you cheat me?' "
