Genesis 29:2-10

2When he looked, suddenly, there was a well in the field, and there were three herds of sheep resting by it. (For from that well they would water the flocks. The stone on the mouth of the well was large.

3When all the herds gathered there, they would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the flocks, and put the stone back to its place over the mouth of the well.)

4Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We’re from Haran,” they said.

5So he said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor’s son?” They said, “We know.”

6He said to them, “Is he well?” “Well,” they said. “Look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the flock.”

7He said, “Since it’s still the middle of the day, it’s not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the flock and let them go and graze.”

8But they said, “We can’t, not until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled away from the mouth of the well—then we water the flock.”

9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with the flock that belonged to her father (for she was a shepherdess).

10Now when Jacob saw Rachel (the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother), Jacob stepped forward and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban, his mother’s brother.
