Short answer: Jacob worked 7 years for Laban before he married his two wives, Leah and Rachel.Long answer: Jacob worked 7 years to pay Rachel's bride price, but his father-in-law Laban tricked him into sleeping with Rachel's older sister Leah instead.When Jacob then confronted Laban about it (Genesis 29:25-27):"...And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?And Laban said, It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the first-born. Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years."So Laban basically told Jacob, "Finish your honeymoon with Leah, and then I'll give you Rachel also."So the timeline was:Jacob is engaged to Rachel.Jacob serves Laban 7 years as her bride price.Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah instead.Jacob has a week-long honeymoon with Leah.Jacob marries Rachel, also.Jacob serves Laban another 7 years to pay for his second wife.
