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 Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11Then Jacob 1kissed Rachel, and lifted his voice and wept. 12Jacob told Rachel that he was a 23relative of her father and that he was Rebekah’s son, and 4she ran and told her father.

13So when 5Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister’s son, he ran to meet him, and 6embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things. 14Laban said to him, “Surely you are 7my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him a month.
