12 And Jacob told to Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was a son of Rebekah. And she ran and told it to her father. 13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the report about Jacob, the son of his sister, that he ran to meet him, and he embraced him and he kissed him, and he brought him to his house. And he told to Laban all these things. 14 And Laban said to him, “Surely my bone and my flesh you are.” And he dwelt with him a month of days. 15 And Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my brother, then should you serve me for nothing? Tell me, what is your wage?” 16 And Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 And Leah’s eyes were tender, and Rachel was beautiful of form and beautful of appearance. 18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and 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. Dwell with me.” 20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were to him a few days, because of his love for her. Genesis 29:12-20, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
