Jacob worked 7 years for Rachel, got tricked into marrying Leah, then had to work 7 MORE years. The finesse king got finessed.
Jacob fell for Rachel immediately and agreed to work 7 years for her hand. The years 'seemed like only a few days because of his love' — honestly romantic. But on the wedding night Laban swapped Rachel for her older sister Leah. Jacob woke up like WAIT WHAT. Laban said 'we don't do younger before older here' and made him work another 7 years for Rachel. The trickster got out-tricked. Then followed a whole baby competition between Leah and Rachel.
