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 his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban. 11Then Jacob 1kissed Rachel, and raised his voice and wept. 12Jacob told Rachel that he was a 2relative of her father and that he was Rebekah’s son, and 3she ran and told her father.

13So when 4Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet him, and 5embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Then he told Laban all these things. 14And Laban said to him, “You certainly are 6my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him a month.
