Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מַלֵּ֖א שְׁבֻ֣עַ זֹ֑את
complete week this(f)
For some languages it may be necessary to make explicit the fact that it is assumed that Leah would still remain his wife. Only make this information explicit if it is necessary to avoid wrong meaning. Alternate translation: “So then, complete this week of celebrating your wedding to my daughter Leah,”
וְנִתְּנָ֨ה לְךָ֜ גַּם אֶת זֹ֗את
and,give to/for=yourself(m) also/yet DOM this(f)
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Then our family will also give you my other daughter to marry” or “Then you may also marry my other daughter”
בַּעֲבֹדָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲבֹ֣ד עִמָּדִ֔י
in/on/at/with,serving which/who work with=me
See how you translated serve in verses 15, 18, 20, 21 and 25. Alternate translation: “in exchange for working for me”
ע֖וֹד שֶֽׁבַע שָׁנִ֥ים אֲחֵרֽוֹת
again/more seven years another
Alternate translation: “for seven more years.”
29:14-30 Jacob’s joyful prospect of marriage to the lovely Rachel became an occasion for Laban’s shrewdness and Jacob’s discipline. Jacob and his mother had deceived his father and brother to gain the blessing; now his mother’s brother deceived him. Jacob received a dose of his own duplicity through twenty years of labor, affliction, and deception in Laban’s service (31:38). In God’s justice, people harvest what they plant (Gal 6:7). Laban’s deception was perfectly designed to make Jacob aware of his own craftiness. God often brings people into the lives of believers to discipline them. But Jacob was tenacious, and God blessed him abundantly with a large family and many possessions (30:25-43) during this time of service.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
