And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?

And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man. Abide with me.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.

And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.

And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children whom they have borne?

And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set betwixt me and thee.
