<<You say it was 20 years and right you may be but I think it was still 14... He got Rachel before "paying" for her.>>>

Gen 31:38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of they flock have I not eaten.

Jacob served 7 years for Rachal but got Leah. To keep him there Laban gave him Rachal right away after his treachery but the stipulation was he had to work another 7 years for her. After that he worked another six. It was during that last 6 years that he got his wealth which was partly due to his vision of the speckled sheep.

The sad thing is that because of his treachery in deceiving his father over the blessing the same thing happened to him. The outcome..... POLYGAMY!
