Then Jacob{H3290} went on{H5375} his journey,{H7272} and came{H3212} to the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of the east.{H6924}

And he looked,{H7200} and, behold, a well{H875} in the field,{H7704} and, lo, three{H7969} flocks{H5739} of sheep{H6629} lying{H7257} there by it; for out of that well{H875} they watered{H8248} the flocks:{H5739} and the stone{H68} upon the well's{H875} mouth{H6310} was great.{H1419}

And thither were all the flocks{H5739} gathered:{H622} and they rolled{H1556} the stone{H68} from the well's{H875} mouth,{H6310} and watered{H8248} the sheep,{H6629} and put{H7725} the stone{H68} again{H7725} upon the well's{H875} mouth{H6310} in its place.{H4725}

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} unto them, My brethren,{H251} whence{H370} are ye? And they said,{H559} Of Haran{H2771} are we.

And he said{H559} unto them, Know{H3045} ye Laban{H3837} the son{H1121} of Nahor?{H5152} And they said,{H559} We know{H3045} him.

And he said{H559} unto them, Is it well{H7965} with him? And they said,{H559} It is well:{H7965} and, behold, Rachel{H7354} his daughter{H1323} cometh{H935} with the sheep.{H6629}

And he said,{H559} Lo,{H2005} it is yet high{H1419} day,{H3117} neither is it time{H6256} that the cattle{H4735} should be gathered together:{H622} water{H8248} ye the sheep,{H6629} and go{H3212} and feed{H7462} them.

And they said,{H559} We cannot,{H3201} until all the flocks{H5739} be gathered together,{H622} and they roll{H1556} the stone{H68} from the well's{H875} mouth;{H6310} then we water{H8248} the sheep.{H6629}

While he was yet{H5750} speaking{H1696} with them, Rachel{H7354} came{H935} with her father's{H1} sheep;{H6629} for she kept them.{H7462}

And it came to pass, when Jacob{H3290} saw{H7200} Rachel{H7354} the daughter{H1323} of Laban{H3837} his mother's{H517} brother,{H251} and the sheep{H6629} of Laban{H3837} his mother's{H517} brother,{H251} that Jacob{H3290} went near,{H5066} and rolled{H1556} the stone{H68} from the well's{H875} mouth,{H6310} and watered{H8248} the flock{H6629} of Laban{H3837} his mother's{H517} brother.{H251}

And Jacob{H3290} kissed{H5401} Rachel,{H7354} and lifted up{H5375} his voice,{H6963} and wept.{H1058}

And Jacob{H3290} told{H5046} Rachel{H7354} that he was her father's{H1} brother,{H251} and that he was Rebekah's{H7259} son:{H1121} and she ran{H7323} and told{H5046} her father.{H1}

And it came to pass, when Laban{H3837} heard{H8085} the tidings{H8088} of Jacob{H3290} his sister's{H269} son,{H1121} that he ran{H7323} to meet{H7125} him, and embraced{H2263} him, and kissed{H5401} him, and brought{H935} him to his house.{H1004} And he told{H5608} Laban{H3837} all these things.{H1697}

And Laban{H3837} said{H559} to him, Surely{H389} thou art my bone{H6106} and my flesh.{H1320} And he abode{H3427} with him the space{H3117} of a month.{H2320}

And Laban{H3837} said{H559} unto Jacob,{H3290} Because thou art my brother,{H251} shouldest thou therefore serve{H5647} me for nought?{H2600} tell{H5046} me, what shall thy wages{H4909} be?

And Laban{H3837} had two{H8147} daughters:{H1323} the name{H8034} of the elder{H1419} was Leah,{H3812} and the name{H8034} of the younger{H6996} was Rachel.{H7354}

And Leah's{H3812} eyes{H5869} were tender;{H7390} but Rachel{H7354} was beautiful{H3303} and{H3303} well-favored.{H4758}

And Jacob{H3290} loved{H157} Rachel;{H7354} and he said,{H559} I will serve{H5647} thee seven{H7651} years{H8141} for Rachel{H7354} thy younger{H6996} daughter.{H1323}

And Laban{H3837} said,{H559} It is better{H2896} that I give{H5414} her to thee, than that I should give{H5414} her to another{H312} man:{H376} abide{H3427} with me.

And Jacob{H3290} served{H5647} seven{H7651} years{H8141} for Rachel;{H7354} and they seemed{H5869} unto him but a few{H259} days,{H3117} for the love he had{H160} to her.

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} unto Laban,{H3837} Give{H3051} me my wife,{H802} for my days{H3117} are fulfilled,{H4390} that I may go in{H935} unto her.

And Laban{H3837} gathered together{H622} all the men{H582} of the place,{H4725} and made{H6213} a feast.{H4960}

And it came to pass in the evening,{H6153} that he took{H3947} Leah{H3812} his daughter,{H1323} and brought{H935} her to him; and he went in{H935} unto her.

And Laban{H3837} gave{H5414} Zilpah{H2153} his handmaid{H8198} unto his daughter{H1323} Leah{H3812} for a handmaid.{H8198}

And it came to pass in the morning{H1242} that, behold, it was Leah:{H3812} and he said{H559} to Laban,{H3837} What is this thou hast done{H6213} unto me? did not I serve{H5647} with thee for Rachel?{H7354} wherefore then hast thou beguiled{H7411} me?

And Laban{H3837} said,{H559} It is not so done{H6213} in our place,{H4725} to give{H5414} the younger{H6810} before{H6440} the first-born.{H1067}

Fulfil{H4390} the week{H7620} of this one,{H2063} and we will give{H5414} thee the other also for the service{H5656} which thou shalt serve{H5647} with me yet seven{H7651} other{H312} years.{H8141}

And Jacob{H3290} did{H6213} so, and fulfilled{H4390} her week:{H7620} and he gave{H5414} him Rachel{H7354} his daughter{H1323} to wife.{H802}

And Laban{H3837} gave{H5414} to Rachel{H7354} his daughter{H1323} Bilhah{H1090} his handmaid{H8198} to be her handmaid.{H8198}

And he went in{H935} also unto Rachel,{H7354} and he loved{H157} also Rachel{H7354} more than Leah,{H3812} and served{H5647} with him yet seven{H7651} other{H312} years.{H8141}

And Jehovah{H3068} saw{H7200} that Leah{H3812} was hated,{H8130} and he opened{H6605} her womb:{H7358} but Rachel{H7354} was barren.{H6135}

And Leah{H3812} conceived,{H2029} and bare{H3205} a son,{H1121} and she called{H7121} his name{H8034} Reuben:{H7205} for{H3588} she said,{H559} Because{H3588} Jehovah{H3068} hath looked{H7200} upon my affliction;{H6040} for now{H3588} my husband{H376} will love{H157} me.

And she conceived{H2029} again, and bare{H3205} a son:{H1121} and said,{H559} Because Jehovah{H3068} hath heard{H8085} that I am hated,{H8130} he hath therefore given{H5414} me this [son] also: and she called{H7121} his name{H8034} Simeon.{H8095}

And she conceived again,{H2029} and bare{H3205} a son;{H1121} and said,{H559} Now this time{H6471} will my husband{H376} be joined{H3867} unto me, because I have borne{H3205} him three{H7969} sons:{H1121} therefore was his name{H8034} called{H7121} Levi.{H3878}

And she conceived{H2029} again, and bare{H3205} a son:{H1121} and she said,{H559} This{H6471} time will I praise{H3034} Jehovah:{H3068} therefore she called{H7121} his name{H8034} Judah;{H3063} and she left{H5975} off bearing.{H3205}
