1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. Genesis 29:1WEB

7 He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.” Genesis 29:7WEB
8 They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.” Genesis 29:8WEB
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them. Genesis 29:9WEB
10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. Genesis 29:10WEB
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. Genesis 29:11WEB

14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month. Genesis 29:14WEB
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?” Genesis 29:15WEB
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Genesis 29:16WEB
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive. Genesis 29:17WEB
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.” Genesis 29:18WEB
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.” Genesis 29:19WEB
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her. Genesis 29:20WEB

22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. Genesis 29:22WEB
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her. Genesis 29:23WEB
