Genesis 29:11-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.

12. And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father.

13. And when he had heard that Jacob, his sister's son, had arrived, he ran to meet him. And embracing him, and kissing him heartily, he brought him into his house. But when he had heard the reasons for his journey,

14. he responded, "You are my bone and my flesh." And after the days of one month were completed,

15. he said to him: "Though you are my brother, will you serve me for nothing? Tell me what wages you would accept."

16. In truth, he had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah; and truly the younger was called Rachel.
