13. Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.
14. And Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him for a month.
15. Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?”
16. Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17. Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.
18. Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”
19. And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
20. So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.
