Genesis 29:2-7

2And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.

3And there were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.

4And Jacob said to them, My brethren, from where are ye? And they said, We are from Haran.

5And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him .

6And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.1

7And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them .2
