Genesis 29:9-19

Hebrew Names Version HNV

9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

10 It happened, when Ya`akov saw Rachel the daughter of Lavan, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Lavan, his mother's brother, that Ya`akov went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Lavan his mother's brother.

11 Ya`akov kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 Ya`akov told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rivka's son. She ran and told her father.

13 It happened, when Lavan heard the news of Ya`akov, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Ya`akov, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Ya`akov told Lavan all these things.

14 Lavan said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. He lived with him for a month.

15 Lavan said to Ya`akov, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"

16 Lavan had two daughters. The name of the elder was Le'ah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17 Le'ah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

18 Ya`akov loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."

19 Lavan said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

New International Version NIV

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

10 When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.

11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.

12 He had told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and a son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father.

13 As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.

14 Then Laban said to him, “You are my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month,

15 Laban said to him, “Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”

16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17 Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful.

18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I’ll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19 Laban said, “It’s better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.”
