Genesis 29:10-17

New International Version

¹⁰ When Jacob saw Rachel^(A) daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone^(B) away from the mouth of the well and watered^(C) his uncle’s sheep.^{(D) 11} Then Jacob kissed^(E) Rachel and began to weep aloud.^{(F) 12} He had told Rachel that he was a relative^(G) of her father and a son of Rebekah.^(H) So she ran and told her father.^(I)

¹³ As soon as Laban^(J) heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him^(K) and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things. ¹⁴ Then Laban said to him, “You are my own flesh and blood.”^(L)

Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel

After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month, ¹⁵ Laban said to him, “Just because you are a relative^(M) of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages^(N) should be.”

¹⁶ Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah,^(O) and the name of the younger was Rachel.^{(P) 17} Leah had weak^[a] eyes, but Rachel^(Q) had a lovely figure and was beautiful.^(R)
