Genesis 29:6-10 ▼

6 So he asked them, |How's he doing?| |Very well,| they answered. |As a matter of fact, look over there! That's his daughter Rachel, coming here with his sheep.|

7 |Look!| Jacob replied. |The sun is still high. It's not yet time for the flocks to be gathered. Let's water the sheep, then let them graze.|

8 But they responded, |We can't do that until all the sheep have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the opening of the well. Only then can we water the flock.|

9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel arrived with her father's sheep, since she was a shepherdess.

10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, accompanied by Laban's sheep, Jacob approached the well, rolled the stone from the opening of the well, and then watered his mother's brother Laban's flock.
