Genesis 29:14-19

New Century Version

¹⁴ Then Laban said, “You are my own flesh and blood.”

Jacob Is Tricked

Jacob stayed there a month. ¹⁵ Then Laban said to Jacob, “You are my relative, but it is not right for you to work for me without pay. What would you like me to pay you?”

¹⁶ Now Laban had two daughters. The older was Leah, and the younger was Rachel. ¹⁷ Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was very beautiful. ¹⁸ Jacob loved Rachel, so he said to Laban, “Let me marry your younger daughter Rachel. If you will, I will work seven years for you.”

¹⁹ Laban said, “It would be better for her to marry you than someone else, so stay here with me.”
