New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.^{(A) 10} Now when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.^{(B) 11} Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud. ¹² And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s kinsman and that he was Rebekah’s son, and she ran and told her father.^(C)

¹³ When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran to meet him; he embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob^[a] told Laban all these things,^{(D) 14} and Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh!” And he stayed with him a month.^(E)
