Changes

'''Laban''' was the brother of [[Rebekah]] who first helped to bring about her marriage to [[Isaac]] when he saw the lavish gifts he bestowed.  When [[Jacob]], the son of Rebekah, flees from his brother [[Esau]], he stays with his uncle Laban and agrees to work for seven years to marry his daughter [[Rachel]].  Laban tricks Jacob however, and gives him his older daughter [[Leah]] instead.  Jacob then works for seven more years to marry Rachel.  Jacob stays with Laban for twenty years total and Laban's wealth grows greatly during that time period due to Jacob.  Still, when Jacob goes to leave, Laban at first overtakes him and stops him, although he does eventually let Jacob go.
