Genesis 29:1-4

1Then JacobH3290 1setH5375 outH5375 onH5375 his journeyH7272, and wentH1980 to the landH776 of 2the 3peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. 2He lookedH7200, and 4sawH7200 5a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and beholdH2009, threeH7969 flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 were lyingH7257 thereH8033 besideH5921 it, becauseH3588 they wateredH8248 the flocksH5739 from that wellH875. Now the stoneH68 on the mouthH6310 of the wellH875 was largeH1419. 3When allH3605 the flocksH5739 were gatheredH622 thereH8033, they would rollH1556 the stoneH68 from the mouthH6310 of the wellH875 and waterH8248 the sheepH6629. Then they would putH7725 the stoneH68 backH7725 in its placeH4725 on the mouthH6310 of the wellH875.

4JacobH3290 saidH559 to them, “My brothersH251, whereH370 are you from?” And they saidH559, “We are from 6HaranH2771.”
