Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
In context
13 When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.
14 Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,
15 Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
16 Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.
17 Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.
