Genesis 29:2-7

2And he lookedH7200, and behold a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, there were threeH7969 flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 lyingH7257 by it; for out of that wellH875 they wateredH8248 the flocksH5739: and a greatH1419 stoneH68 was upon the well’sH875 mouthH6310.

3And thither were all the flocksH5739 gatheredH622: and they rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well’sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the sheepH6629, and putH7725 the stoneH68 againH7725 upon the well’sH875 mouthH6310 in his placeH4725.

4And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto them, My brethrenH251, whenceH370 be 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 he wellH7965? And they saidH559, He is wellH7965: and, behold, RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 comethH935 with the sheepH6629.1

7And he saidH559, LoH2005, it is yet highH1419 dayH3117, neither is it timeH6256 that the cattleH4735 should be gathered togetherH622: waterH8248 ye the sheepH6629, and goH3212 and feedH7462 them.2
