Genesis 29:1-7 ▼

1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.

2 And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) & there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.

3 And thither were all the flockes gathered, & they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.

4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.

5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.

6 Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.

7 Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.
