Genesis 29:5-14

5And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know [him].

6And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, [He is] well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.

7And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed [them].

8And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.

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

10And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.

12And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.

13And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.

14And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.
