Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.”
While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
When Laban heard of the arrival of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he told Laban all these things.
Then Laban said to Jacob, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?”
Finally, Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time [of service] is completed, so that I may take her to me [as my wife].”
