Laban is most famous for his dance with Jacob. Laban was a shepherd, and Jacob was his nephew. Jacob wanted to marry Laban's daughter Rachel, but Laban tricked him by giving him his daughter Leah instead. Jacob realized the trick and demanded to marry Rachel as well. Laban agreed, but only if Jacob worked for him for seven years. After the seven years were up, Laban tried to cheat Jacob by giving him his daughter Leah again, but Jacob insisted on Rachel. Laban finally agreed to give Rachel to Jacob in exchange for seven more years of labor.
