Jacob and Laban When Laban heard of Jacob’s arrival, he ran to meet him, embraced and kissed him, and brought him to his house. (Genesis 29:13) Jacob told Laban all that had happened, and Laban welcomed Jacob as family. (Genesis 29:13–14) After Jacob had lived with Laban for a month, Laban asked Jacob what wages he wanted for his work. (Genesis 29:14–15) Laban had two daughters: The elder, Leah, had weak eyes, while the younger, Rachel, was beautiful. (Genesis 29:16–17) Jacob loved Rachel, and offered to serve Laban seven years for Rachel’s hand, and Laban agreed. (Genesis 29:18–19) Jacob served the years, but his love for Rachel made them seem like just a few days. (Genesis 29:20) Jacob asked Laban for his wife, and Laban made a feast and invited all the men of the place. (Genesis 29:21–22) In the evening, Laban brought Leah to Jacob, and Jacob slept with her. (Genesis 29:23) Laban gave Leah Zilpah to be her handmaid. (Genesis 29:24) In the morning, Jacob discovered that it was Leah, and he complained to Laban that he had served for Rachel. (Genesis 29:25) Laban replied that in that place, they did not give the younger before the firstborn, but if Jacob fulfilled Leah’s week, he would give Jacob both daughters in exchange for another seven years of service. (Genesis 29:26–27) Jacob did so, and Laban gave him Rachel to wife, and gave Rachel Bilhah to be her handmaid. (Genesis 29:28–29)
