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.”
16. (Now Laban had two daughters; the older one was named Leah, and the younger one Rachel.
17. Leah’s eyes were tender, but Rachel had a lovely figure and beautiful appearance.)
18. Since Jacob had fallen in love with Rachel, he said, “I’ll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19. Laban replied, “I’d rather give her to you than to another man. Stay with me.”
20. So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. But they seemed like only a few days to him because his love for her was so great.
