Genesis:29:2-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he looked ,
and behold a well in the field ,
and ,
lo ,
there were three flocks of sheep lying by it ;
for out of that well they watered the flocks :
and a great stone was upon the well '
s mouth .
*
And thither were all the flocks gathered :
and they rolled the stone from the well '
s mouth ,
and watered the sheep ,
and put the stone again upon the well '
s mouth in his place .
*
And Jacob said unto them ,
My brethren ,
whence be ye ?
And they said ,
Of Haran are we .
*
And he said unto them ,
Know ye Laban the son of Nahor ?
And they said ,
We know him .
*
And he said unto them ,
Is he well ?
And they said ,
He is well :
and ,
behold ,
Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep .
*
And he said ,
Lo ,
it is yet high day ,
neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together :
water ye the sheep ,
and go and feed them .
*
And they said ,
We cannot ,
until all the flocks be gathered together ,
and till they roll the stone from the well '
s mouth ;
then we water the sheep .
*
And while he yet spake with them ,
Rachel came with her father '
s sheep :
for she kept them .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother '
s brother ,
and the sheep of Laban his mother '
s brother ,
that Jacob went near ,
and rolled the stone from the well '
s mouth ,
and watered the flock of Laban his mother '
s brother .
