12 He told her, “I am your father's relative, the son of Rebecca.”She ran to tell her father;
13 and when he heard the news about his nephew Jacob, he ran to meet him, hugged him and kissed him, and brought him into the house. When Jacob told Laban everything that had happened,
14 Laban said, “Yes, indeed, you are my own flesh and blood.” Jacob stayed there a whole month.
15 Laban said to Jacob, “You shouldn't work for me for nothing just because you are my relative. How much pay do you want?”
16 Laban had two daughters; the elder was named Leah, and the younger Rachel.
17 Leah had lovely eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.
18 Jacob was in love with Rachel, so he said, “I will work seven years for you, if you will let me marry Rachel.”
