12 And Jacob will announce to Rachel that he is her father's brother, and that he is Rebekah's son; and she will run and announce to her father. 13 And it shall be when Laban heard the hearing of Jacob his sister's son, and he will run to meet him, and he will embrace him, and kiss him and bring him to his house, and he will recount to Laban all these words. 14 And Laban will say to him, Surely my bone and my flesh art thou: and he will dwell with him a month of days. 15 And Laban will say to Jacob, Because thou art my brother shalt thou serve me gratuitously? announce to me what thy reward. 16 And to Laban two daughters: the name to the great, Leah; and the name to the small, Rachel. 17 And the eyes of Leah weak, and Rachel was fair of form and fair of look. 18 And Jacob will love Rachel, and will say, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy daughter the small. 19 And Laban will say, Good for me to give her to thee rather than for me to give her to another man. Dwell with me. 20 And Jacob will serve for Rachel seven years, and they will be in his eyes as a few days in his loving her. Genesis 29:12-20, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
