Genesis 29:14-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. Then Laban said to him, "You are my own flesh and blood." Jacob stayed with Laban for a whole month.

15. Then Laban said to him, "You are one of my relatives. But is that any reason for you to work for me for nothing? Tell me what your pay should be."

16. Laban had two daughters. The name of the older one was Leah. And the name of the younger one was Rachel.

17. Leah had weak eyes. But Rachel was beautiful. She had a nice figure.

18. Jacob was in love with Rachel. He said to Laban, "I'll work for you for seven years to get your younger daughter Rachel."

19. Laban said, "It's better for me to give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me."
