13 Dès que Laban eut entendu parler de Jacob, fils de sa sœur, il courut au-devant de lui, il l’embrassa et le baisa, et il le fit venir dans sa maison. Jacob raconta à Laban toutes ces choses.
14 Et Laban lui dit: Certainement, tu es mon os et ma chair. Jacob demeura un mois chez Laban.
15 Puis Laban dit à Jacob: Parce que tu es mon parent, me serviras-tu pour rien? Dis-moi quel sera ton salaire.
16 Or, Laban avait deux filles: l’aînée s’appelait Léa, et la cadette Rachel.
17 Léa avait les yeux délicats; mais Rachel était belle de taille et belle de figure.
