'Acquire' in the Bible

Jacob fled to the country of Aram, then Israel worked to acquire a wife; he tended sheep to pay for her.

The pains of childbirth come on him;But he is not a wise son,For it is not the time to delay [his chance at a new birth] as the womb opens [but he ignores the opportunity to change].
