12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, & that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father. 13 And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things. 14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh; he abode with him the space of a moneth. 15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages? 16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel. 17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire. 18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter. 19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me. 20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
