Jacob works for his uncle Laban for seven years to earn the right to marry Rachel, but Laban deceived Jacob by neglecting to tell him that he must marry his daughter Leah first according to custom. In doing so Jacob must marry Leah and Rachel to be able to marry the woman Jacob loved. Jacob now is an indentured servant for a total of 14 years. God shows great compassion upon Leah who is despised by Jacob and gives her four sons to Jacob. The family is growing in what will become the nation of Israel.
