1. Mosebok 29,12

10 Da Jakob så Rakel, datteren til sin onkel Laban, og Labans sauer, gikk han bort og rullet steinen bort fra brønnens munn og vannet sin onkels sauer.

11 Jakob hilste så Rakel med et kyss og gråt åpenlyst.

Jakob forklarte Rakel at han var en slektning av hennes far og en sønn av Rebekka. Hun løp og informerte sin far.

13 Da Laban hørte nyheten om Jakob, sin søsters sønn, skyndte han seg for å møte ham. Han omfavnet ham, kysset ham, og tok ham med til sitt hjem, hvor Jakob fortalte om alle disse hendelsene.

14 Laban sa til ham: «Sannelig, du er mitt eget kjøtt og blod.» Og Jakob ble hos ham i en måned.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
