Genesis 29:10-18 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.

12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.

13. And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.

14. And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.

15. And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall be thy wages?

16. And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel.

17. And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.

18. And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
