Genesis 29:9-14

9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

10When Jacob saw [his cousin] Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and Laban’s sheep, he came up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban, his uncle.

11Then Jacob kissed Rachel [in greeting], and he raised his voice and wept.

12Jacob told Rachel he was her father’s relative, Rebekah’s son; and she ran and told her father.

13When 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.

14Then Laban said to him, “You are my bone and my flesh.” And Jacob stayed with him a month.
