Genesis 29

¹Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.

²And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.

³And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.

⁴And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.

⁵Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.

⁶Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.

⁷Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.

⁸But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe.

⁹While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.

¹⁰And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother.

¹¹And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
