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

- 6He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
- 7He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the cattle together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

- 14Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. He lived with him for a month.
- 15Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"
- 16Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
- 17Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
- 18Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."
- 19Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
- 20Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
- 21Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."
- 22Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
- 23It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.
- 24Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
- 25It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
