Genesis 29:5-14
5“Do you knowH3045 LabanH3837 the grandsonH1121 of NahorH5152?” Jacob askedH559.
“We know himH3045,” they repliedH559.
6“Is he wellH7965?” Jacob inquiredH559.
“YesH7965,” they answeredH559, “and hereH2009 comesH935 his daughterH1323 RachelH7354 withH5973 his sheepH6629.”
7“LookH2005,” said JacobH559, “it is stillH5750 broadH1419 daylightH3117; it is not yetH3808 timeH6256 to gatherH622 the livestockH4735. WaterH8248 the sheepH6629 and take them backH1980 to pastureH7462.”
8But they repliedH559, “We cannotH3808H3201, untilH5704 allH3605 the flocksH5739 have been gatheredH622 and the stoneH68 has been rolledH1556 away fromH5921 the mouthH6310 of the wellH875. Then we will waterH8248 the sheepH6629.”
9WhileH5750 he was still speakingH1696 with themH5973, RachelH7354 arrivedH935 withH5973 her father’sH1 sheepH6629, forH3588 sheH1931 was a shepherdessH7462. 10As soon asH834 JacobH3290 sawH7200 RachelH7354, the daughterH1323 of his mother’sH517 brotherH251 LabanH3837, with Laban’sH3837 sheepH6629, heH3290 went upH5066 and rolledH1556 the stoneH68 away fromH5921 the mouthH6310 of the wellH875 and wateredH8248 his uncle’sH251H517H3837 sheepH6629. 11Then JacobH3290 kissedH5401 RachelH7354 and weptH1058 aloudH5375. 12HeH3290 toldH5046 RachelH7354 thatH3588 he wasH1931 Rebekah’sH7259H1931 sonH1121H3588, a relativeH251 of her fatherH1, and she ranH7323 and toldH5046 her fatherH1.
When LabanH3837 heardH8085 the newsH8088 about his sister’sH269 sonH1121 JacobH3290, he ran outH7323 to meet himH7122. He embracedH2263 him and kissedH5401 him and brought himH935 toH413 his homeH1004, where Jacob toldH5608 himH3837 allH3605 that had happenedH1697H428.
14Then LabanH3837 declaredH559, “You areH859 indeedH389 my own fleshH1320 and bloodH6106.”
After Jacob had stayedH3427 with himH5973 a monthH2320H3117,
