Genesis 29:11-18 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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

12. Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.

13. When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

14. Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.

15. Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”

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

17. Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

18. Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
