When Jacob arrives in Paddan-Aram, he stops at a well, where he learns about his uncle’s family. Rachel, the younger daughter of Laban, comes to the well with her father’s sheep, and Jacob is immediately smitten. After Laban receives his nephew with Christian hospitality, the two come to an agreement that Jacob will work for Laban for seven years in exchange for marrying Rachel.
