12. Jacob told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and that he was Rebekah's son, and she ran and told her father.
13. So when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things.
14. Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him a month.
15. Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"
16. Now 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 weak, but Rachel was beautiful of form and face.
18. Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."
19. Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me."
20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her.
21. Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, that I may go in to her."
22. Laban gathered all the men of the place and made a feast.
23. Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her.
24. Laban also gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.
