창세기 29:27의 Chasidut
מַלֵּ֖א שְׁבֻ֣עַ זֹ֑את וְנִתְּנָ֨ה לְךָ֜ גַּם־אֶת־זֹ֗את בַּעֲבֹדָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲבֹ֣ד עִמָּדִ֔י ע֖וֹד שֶֽׁבַע־שָׁנִ֥ים אֲחֵרֽוֹת׃
이를 위하여 칠 일을 채우라 우리가 그도 네게 주리니 네가 그를 위하여 또 칠년을 내게 봉사할지니라
Flames of Faith
Jacob spent seven years working for Rachel, and then Laban had him marry Leah. Once he found out that he had been tricked he waited seven days and then married Rachel in return for promising to work for another seven years (see Gen. 29:27-28). These two sets of seven, first years and then days, represent the full complement of seven. Jacob spiritually accomplished what seven times seven regular years usually accomplish. After the two sevens of forty-nine years, we have Yovel, and after Jacob’s two sevens he too received Yovel, the light of Messiah, through marriage with Rachel.
