And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you then serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall be your wages?

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

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

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

And Laban gave Zilpah his slave woman to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

And it happened in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?

It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that you do not speak either good or bad to Jacob.

And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have deceived my heart and carried away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Perhaps you would take your daughters away from me by force.

And Laban called it in Syrian, Heap of the Testimony, and Jacob called it in Hebrew, Heap of Testimony.
