Genesis 29:10-16 World English Bible (WEB)

10. When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.

11. Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12. Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.

13. When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

14. Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” He lived with him for a month.

15. Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”

16. Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
