14. Then Laban said, “You are my own flesh and blood.”Jacob stayed there a month.
15. Then Laban said to Jacob, “You are my relative, but it is not right for you to work for me without pay. What would you like me to pay you?”
16. Now Laban had two daughters. The older was Leah, and the younger was Rachel.
17. Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was very beautiful.
18. Jacob loved Rachel, so he said to Laban, “Let me marry your younger daughter Rachel. If you will, I will work seven years for you.”
19. Laban said, “It would be better for her to marry you than someone else, so stay here with me.”
