4. And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, We are from Haran.
5. And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? and they said, We know him.
6. And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7. And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be collected: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8. And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are collected, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
9. And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
10. And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother; that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
13. And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14. And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh: and he abode with him the space of a month.
15. And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16. And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17. Leah was tender-eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well-favored.
