11. And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
12. And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.
13. Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey,
14. He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
15. He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
16. Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Richel.
17. But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
18. And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19. Lahan answered: It is better that I give her thee than to another man; stay with me.
20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
21. And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22. And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
23. And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
24. Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zalpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
25. And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?
26. Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
27. Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years.
28. He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
29. To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
