Genesis 29:1-17

29:1

Then Jacob
<03290>

went on
<05375> (8799)

his journey
<07272>_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the people
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_.

{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}

29:2

And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and behold a well
<0875>

in the field
<07704>_,

and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>

flocks
<05739>

of sheep
<06629>

lying
<07257> (8802)

by it; for out of that well
<0875>

they watered
<08248> (8686)

the flocks
<05739>_:

and a great
<01419>

stone
<068>

[was] upon the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_.

29:3

And thither were all the flocks
<05739>

gathered
<0622> (8738)_:

and they rolled
<01556> (8804)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_,

and watered
<08248> (8689)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and put
<07725> (0)

the stone
<068>

again
<07725> (8689)

upon the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>

in his place
<04725>_.

29:4

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,

whence
<0370>

[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Of Haran
<02771>

[are] we.

29:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)

ye Laban
<03837>

the son
<01121>

of Nahor
<05152>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We know
<03045> (8804)

[him].

29:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[He is] well
<07965>_:

and, behold, Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

with the sheep
<06629>_.

{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}

29:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lo
<02005>_,

[it is] yet high
<01419>

day
<03117>_,

neither [is it] time
<06256>

that the cattle
<04735>

should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:

water
<08248> (8685)

ye the sheep
<06629>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

[and] feed
<07462> (8798)

[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}

29:8

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,

until all the flocks
<05739>

be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,

and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_;

then we water
<08248> (8689)

the sheep
<06629>_.

29:9

And while he yet
<05750>

spake
<01696> (8764)

with them, Rachel
<07354>

came
<0935> (8804)

with her father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>_:

for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.

29:10

And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>

saw
<07200> (8804)

Rachel
<07354>

the daughter
<01323>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_,

and the sheep
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_,

that Jacob
<03290>

went near
<05066> (8799)_,

and rolled
<01556> (8686)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_,

and watered
<08248> (8686)

the flock
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_.

29:11

And Jacob
<03290>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

29:12

And Jacob
<03290>

told
<05046> (8686)

Rachel
<07354>

that he [was] her father's
<01>

brother
<0251>_,

and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>

son
<01121>_:

and she ran
<07323> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

her father
<01>_.

29:13

And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the tidings
<08088>

of Jacob
<03290>

his sister's
<0269>

son
<01121>_,

that he ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)

him, and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to his house
<01004>_.

And he told
<05608> (8762)

Laban
<03837>

all these things
<01697>_.

{tidings: Heb. hearing}

29:14

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Surely
<0389>

thou [art] my bone
<06106>

and my flesh
<01320>_.

And he abode
<03427> (8799)

with him the space
<03117>

of a month
<02320>_.

{the space...: Heb. a month of days}

29:15

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,

shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)

me for nought
<02600>_?

tell
<05046> (8685)

me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>

[be]?

29:16

And Laban
<03837>

had two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_:

the name
<08034>

of the elder
<01419>

[was] Leah
<03812>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the younger
<06996>

[was] Rachel
<07354>_.

29:17

Leah
<03812>

[was] tender
<07390>

eyed
<05869>_;

but Rachel
<07354>

was beautiful
<03303> <08389>

and well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>_.
