Genesis 29:1-6 ▼

1 Then Jacob took up his journey and came to the land of the sons of the east.

2 And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that well they gave water to the flocks to drink. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large.

3 And all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and give water to the sheep to drink and return the stone back to its place on the mouth of the well.

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

5 Then he said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.”

6 And he said to them, “Is it well with him?” And they said, “It is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.”
