1. Mosebok 29,16

LabanLeahRachel

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

15 Da sa Laban til Jakob: «Fordi du er min slektning, skal du arbeide for meg for ingenting? Fortell meg hva din lønn skal være.»

Laban hadde to døtre; den eldste het Lea, og den yngste het Rakel.

17 Lea hadde svake øyne, mens Rakel var vakker i form og utseende.

18 Jakob var forelsket i Rakel og sa: «Jeg vil tjene deg i syv år for din yngre datter Rakel.»
