Genesis 29:5-14
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 8And they saidH559, We cannotH3201, until all the flocksH5739 be gathered togetherH622, and till they rollH1556 the stoneH68 from the well’sH875 mouthH6310; then we waterH8248 the sheepH6629.
9And while he yetH5750 spakeH1696 with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 with her father’sH1 sheepH6629: for she kept themH7462. 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 nearH5066, and rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well’sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother’sH517 brotherH251. 11And JacobH3290 kissedH5401 RachelH7354, and lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058. 12And JacobH3290 toldH5046 RachelH7354 that he was her father’sH1 brotherH251, and that he was Rebekah’sH7259 sonH1121: and she ranH7323 and toldH5046 her fatherH1. 13And it came to pass, when LabanH3837 heardH8085 the tidingsH8088 of JacobH3290 his sister’sH269 sonH1121, that he ranH7323 to meetH7125 him, and embracedH2263 him, and kissedH5401 him, and broughtH935 him to his houseH1004. And he toldH5608 LabanH3837 all these thingsH1697.3 14And LabanH3837 saidH559 to him, SurelyH389 thou art my boneH6106 and my fleshH1320. And he abodeH3427 with him the spaceH3117 of a monthH2320.4
