ULabani wayesethi kuye: “Impela uyithambo lami nenyama yami.” UJakobe wahlala naye inyanga yonke. ULabani wathi kuJakobe: “Uzongisebenzela mahhala yini ngoba uyisihlobo sami na? Ngitshele ukuthi izoba yini inkokhelo yakho na?” ULabani wayenamadodakazi amabili, igama lenkosazana kwakunguLeya, elikathunjana kunguRaheli. ULeya wayenamehlo ayebuthakathaka kanti uRaheli wayemuhle ngesimo ebukeka kahle. UJakobe wamthanda uRaheli, wayesethi kuLabani: “Ngizokukusebenzela iminyaka eyisikhombisa ngoRaheli indodakazi yakho encane.” ULabani wathi: “Kungcono ukuba ngimnike wena kunokuba ngimnike enye indoda. Hlala nami.” UJakobe wasebenza iminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuze aganwe nguRaheli, kodwa ngenxa yothando ayemthanda ngalo uRaheli kwaba sengathi iyizinsuku ezimbalwa. UJakobe wayesethi kuLabani: “Nginike umkami ukuze ngilale naye, ngokuba sesiphelile isikhathi esasivumelene ngaso.” ULabani wabamema bonke abantu bakuleyo ndawo, wenza idili. Kepha kusihlwa wathatha indodakazi yakhe uLeya wayiyisa kuJakobe; uJakobe walala nayo. ULabani wanikela isisebenzi sakhe uZilipha ukuba sibe yisisebenzi sendodakazi yakhe uLeya. Ekuseni wabona ukuthi ubelele noLeya. UJakobe waya kuLabani wathi kuye: “Yini lena oyenze kimi na? Angikusebenzelanga yini ukuze ngithole uRaheli na? Ungikhohliseleni na?” ULabani wathi: “Akwenziwa lokho kuleli lizwe ukuba kuganiswe omncane engakagani omdala. Qeda iviki lalona bese sikunika omunye naye ozomsebenzela kimi eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.” UJakobe wenza kanjalo, waqeda iviki enoLeya, uLabani wayesemnika uRaheli, indodakazi yakhe, ukuba abe ngumkakhe. ULabani wanika uRaheli, indodakazi yakhe, isisebenzi sakhe uBhiliha ukuba sibe ngesakhe. UJakobe walala noRaheli, wamthanda kakhulu uRaheli ukwedlula uLeya. Wasebenzela uLabani eminye futhi iminyaka eyisikhombisa.

Kwathi uLabani esezwe indaba kaJakobe indodana kadadewabo, wagijima ukuyomhlangabeza, wamgona, wamanga, wamngenisa endlini yakhe; wayesetshela uLabani zonke lezi zinto. ULabani wathi kuye: “Impela uyithambo lami nenyama yami.” Wahlala kuye inyanga yonke. ULabani wayesethi kuJakobe: “Lokhu ungumfowethu, ubuzakungisebenzela ngeze na? Ngitshele ukuthi umvuzo wakho uyakuba yini na?” ULabani wayenamadodakazi amabili; igama lenkulu lalinguLeya, igama lencane lalinguRaheli. Amehlo kaLeya ayebuthakathaka, kepha uRaheli wayemuhle ngesimo, ebukeka kahle. UJakobe wamthanda uRaheli; wathi: “Ngizakukusebenzela iminyaka eyisikhombisa ngoRaheli indodakazi yakho encane.” Wayesethi uLabani: “Kuhle ukuba ngimnike wena kunokuba ngimnike enye indoda; hlala kimi.” UJakobe wayesesebenzela uRaheli iminyaka eyisikhombisa; yayisemehlweni akhe njengezinsuku eziyingcosana nje ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe. UJakobe wathi kuLabani: “Nginike umkami, ngokuba izinsuku zami seziphelile, ngize ngingene kuye.” ULabani wabutha abantu bonke bakuleyo ndawo, wenza idili. Kepha kwathi kusihlwa wathatha uLeya indodakazi yakhe, wamyisa kuye; wangena kuye. ULabani wanika indodakazi yakhe uLeya incekukazi yakhe uZilipa, abe yincekukazi yakhe. Kwathi ekuseni, bheka, kunguLeya; wayesethi kuLabani: “Kuyini lokhu okwenzile kimi na? Angikusebenzelanga ngoRaheli na? Ungikhohliseleni na?” Wathi uLabani: “Akwenziwa njalo endaweni yakithi ukuba kuganiswe omncane ngaphambi komkhulu. Qeda isonto lalona, sikuphe nomunye ngomsebenzi osezakuwusebenza kimi eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.” UJakobe wenze njalo, waqeda isonto lakhe; wamupha uRaheli indodakazi yakhe, abe ngumkakhe. ULabani wanika indodakazi yakhe uRaheli incekukazi yakhe uBiliha, abe yincekukazi yakhe. Wangena nakuye uRaheli, wathanda uRaheli kakhulu kunoLeya; wayesesebenza kuye eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
