GE-29:1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land


  • of the

  • people of the east.



  • GE-29:2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo,
  • there

  • [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well
  • they

  • watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's
  • mouth.



  • GE-29:3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they
  • rolled the

  • stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the
  • stone

  • again upon the well's mouth in his place.



  • GE-29:4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence [be] ye?
  • And

  • they said, Of Haran [are] we.



  • GE-29:5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?
  • And

  • they said, We know [him].



  • GE-29:6 And he said unto them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He
  • is]

  • well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.



  • GE-29:7 And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it]
  • time

  • that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep,
  • and

  • go [and] feed [them].



  • GE-29:8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be
  • gathered

  • together, and [till] they roll the stone from the well's mouth;
  • then

  • we water the sheep.



  • GE-29:9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her

  • father's sheep: for she kept them.



  • GE-29:10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the
  • daughter of

  • Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's

  • brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the
  • well's

  • mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.



  • GE-29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and
  • wept.



  • GE-29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father's
  • brother,

  • and that he [was] Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.



  • GE-29:13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of
  • Jacob

  • his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and

  • kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all
  • these

  • things.



  • GE-29:14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my

  • flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.



  • GE-29:15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my
  • brother,

  • shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what
  • [shall]

  • thy wages [be]?



  • GE-29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder
  • [was]

  • Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.



  • GE-29:17 Leah [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and
  • well

  • favoured.



  • GE-29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee
  • seven

  • years for Rachel thy younger daughter.



  • GE-29:19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee,
  • than

  • that I should give her to another man: abide with me.



  • GE-29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they
  • seemed

  • unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.



  • GE-29:21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my
  • days

  • are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.



  • GE-29:22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place,
  • and

  • made a feast.



  • GE-29:23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah
  • his

  • daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.



  • GE-29:24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid
  • [for]

  • an handmaid.



  • GE-29:25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it
  • [was]

  • Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto
  • me? did

  • not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou
  • beguiled

  • me?



  • GE-29:26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country,
  • to

  • give the younger before the firstborn.



  • GE-29:27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for
  • the

  • service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.



  • GE-29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave
  • him

  • Rachel his daughter to wife also.



  • GE-29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his
  • handmaid to

  • be her maid.



  • GE-29:30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also
  • Rachel

  • more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.



  • GE-29:31 And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened
  • her

  • womb: but Rachel [was] barren.



  • GE-29:32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his
  • name

  • Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my
  • affliction;

  • now therefore my husband will love me.



  • GE-29:33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said,
  • Because

  • the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given
  • me

  • this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.



  • GE-29:34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now
  • this

  • time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him
  • three

  • sons: therefore was his name called Levi.



  • GE-29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said,
  • Now

  • will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and
  • left

  • bearing.
