Genesis 29:10-15 New English Translation (NET)

10. When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and the sheep of his uncle Laban, he went over and rolled the stone off the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of his uncle Laban.

11. Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep loudly.

12. When Jacob explained to Rachel that he was a relative of her father and the son of Rebekah, she ran and told her father.

13. When Laban heard this news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he rushed out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban how he was related to him.

14. Then Laban said to him, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” So Jacob stayed with him for a month.

15. Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you work for me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me what your wages should be.”
