12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative
and that he was Rebekah’s son. So she
ran ad told her father.
13 Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the
report about Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him
and kissed him, and brought him to his house.
So he told Laban all these things.
14 And Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my
flesh.” And he stayed with him for a
month.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative,
should you therefore serve me for nothing?
Tell me, what should your wages be?”
16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah,
and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of
form and appearance.
18 Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you
seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”
19 And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than
that I should give her to another man.
Stay with me.”
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed
only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days
are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and
made a feast.
23 Now it came to pass in the
evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went
in to her.
24 And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a
maid.
