Genesis 29:10-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.

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

12. And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.

13. Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey,

14. He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,

15. He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.

16. Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Richel.
