- 1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
- 2And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. --For out of that well they watered the flocks. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.

- 14And Laban said to him: 'Surely thou art my bone and my flesh.' And he abode with him the space of a month.
- 15And Laban said unto Jacob: 'Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?'
- 16Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
- 17And Leah's eyes were weak; but Rachel was of beautiful form and fair to look upon.
- 18And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said: 'I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.'
- 19And Laban said: 'It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.'
- 20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
- 21And Jacob said unto Laban: 'Give me my wife, for my days are filled, that I may go in unto her.'
- 22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
- 23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
- 24And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
- 25And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah; and he said to Laban: 'What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?'
