  I know that I'm being lazy here, but I know that someone here will have the answer off the top of their head.

  There was a bloke in the OT (Jacob?) who saw a woman and fancied her (Rachel?) and wanted to marry her. He worked for her dad for 7 years but ended up with her sister (Leah?) 'cos she was older and had to work another 7 years to get the sister he really wanted.

  Yes, I know it sounds crazy but that's the story.

  Can someone point me to the OT ref. for this please? It's a genuine enquiry and I'll explain why later.

  Thanks in advance.

  i had wondered about this story for a while. in the days before cops and judges, wasnt retribution for this kind of dishonesty death. i mean 14 years of this cousin fu%$ers time and labor?

  BTW, everyone has a hot cousin. find yours now an incestery.com

  It's all a bit weirder when you read it again. The sound of banjos resonates. 7 years' work for a bonk, and then it's the wrong woman? Then another 7 years to bonk the right one? Was she still as beautiful 14 years after he met her? Maybe this was a generic warning from God to men - work your balls off and even then you won't get to bonk the woman you really want to - or if you do, she'll be just as knackered as you are by the time you finally get round to it.

  I do have a genuine reason for asking for this ref. All will be revealed.

  "work your balls off and even then you won't get to bonk the woman you really want to - or if you do, she'll be just as knackered as you are by the time you finally get round to it." i knew the bible had to have relevant lessons for todays world. that is deep. respect.
