While Jacob was talking with some sheep, Laban's daughter Rachel also arrived with her father's flock.

The shepherds told Jacob that it was Laban's daughter Rachel.

Jacob shouted happily and kissed Rachel and said I am your father's nephew.

Rachel ran to her father and told him about Jacob.

Laban met Jacob, they embraced each other.

Jacob told Laban his whole situation.

Ya'qub stayed with La Bn for a month.

Laban said, he is my relative.

Therefore, I will not make you do any work for free.

Tell me, what kind of work do you do?

Jacob was in love with Rachel so he said if you give me Rachel's hand.

Two, I will work for you for seven years.

Laban agreed.

Thus, Jacob worked for Laban for seven years in order to marry Rachel.

Jacob's seven years passed because of Rachel's love.

Laban threw a great feast and married Rachel to Jacob.

After the wedding night, Jacob saw that his bride was not Rachel but his older sister Leah.

Jacob went to Laban and asked him the reason for this betrayal.

Laban said that it is our custom that the eldest girl is married first, while Leah is older than Rachel, if you work for me for seven more years, I will give you Rachel's hand.

Yaqub agreed to this. Seven years later, Jacob also married Rachel.
