Then he said, "Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."
8
But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep."
9
Now while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
10
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11
Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
12
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative and that he was Rebekah's son. So she ran and told her father.
13
Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.
14
And Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him for a month.
15
Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?"
16
Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.
