“And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.”
Bible
“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.”
“And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.”
“And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.”
“And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.”
“And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? / And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.”
“And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.”
