Genesis 29:2-10

2And he lookedH7200, and, behold, a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, threeH7969 flocksH6629 of sheepH6629 lyingH7257 there by it; for out of that wellH875 they wateredH8248 the flocksH6629: and the stoneH68 upon the well’s mouthH6310 was greatH1419.

3And thither were all the flocksH6629 gatheredH622: and they rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well’s mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the sheepH6629, and put the stoneH68 again upon the well’s mouthH6310 in its placeH4725.

4And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they saidH559, Of HaranH2771 are we.

5And he saidH559 unto them, KnowH3045 ye LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of NahorH5152? And they saidH559, We knowH3045 him.

6And he saidH559 unto them, Is it well with him? And they saidH559, It is well: and, behold, RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 cometh with the sheepH6629.

7And he saidH559, Lo, it is yetH5750 high dayH3117, neither is it timeH6256 that the cattle should be gatheredH622 together: waterH8248 ye the sheepH6629, and go and feedH7462 them.

8And they saidH559, We cannot, until all the flocksH6629 be gatheredH622 together, and they rollH1556 the stoneH68 from the well’s mouthH6310; then we waterH8248 the sheepH6629.

9While he was yetH5750 speakingH1696 with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 with her father’sH1 sheepH6629; for she kept them.

10And it came to pass, when JacobH3290 sawH7200 RachelH7354 the daughterH1323 of LabanH3837 his mother’sH517 brotherH251, and the sheepH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother’sH517 brotherH251, that JacobH3290 went near, and rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well’s mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother’sH517 brotherH251.
