Genesis 29:13-15

Living Bible

^12-13 He explained about being her cousin on her father’s side, and that he was her Aunt Rebekah’s son. She quickly ran and told her father, Laban, and as soon as he heard of Jacob’s arrival, he rushed out to meet him and greeted him warmly and brought him home. Then Jacob told him his story.

¹⁴ “Just think, my very own flesh and blood,” Laban exclaimed.

After Jacob had been there about a month, ¹⁵ Laban said to him one day, “Just because we are relatives is no reason for you to work for me without pay. How much do you want?”
