11. And Ya'akov kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12. And Ya'akov told Rachel that he was the relative of her av, and that he was ben Rivkah; and she ran and told her av.
13. And it came to pass, when Lavan heard the news of Ya'akov ben achoto, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his bais. And he told Lavan all these things.
14. And Lavan said to him, Surely thou art my etzem (bone) and my basar. And he abode with him the space of a chodesh (month).
15. And Lavan said unto Ya'akov, Because thou art my relative, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy maskoret (wages) be?
16. And Lavan had two banot: the shem of the elder was Leah, and the shem of the younger was Rachel.
17. Leah had weak eyes; but Rachel was yafeh and lovely in form.
18. And Ya'akov loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee sheva shanim for Rachel thy bat haketannah (younger daughter).
19. And Lavan said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another ish; abide with me.
20. And Ya'akov served sheva shanim for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few yamim, because of the ahavah he had for her.
21. And Ya'akov said unto Lavan, Give me my isha, for my yamim are completed, that I may go in unto her.
