And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him.

And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well, and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with the sheep.

And he said, Look, it is still full day; and it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go feed them.

And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.

While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with the sheep which belonged to her father, for she was a shepherdess.

Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob drew near and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

Then Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.

And when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him. And he embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then Jacob related to Laban all these things.

And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him a month.

And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?

Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

And Leah's eyes were dull, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.

And Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man; stay with me.

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel, but they seemed to him only a few days because of the love he had for her.

Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

But in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in to her.

And Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah to be her female servant.
