Genesis 29:2–12

²And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the field, and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. And the stone on the mouth of the well was large. ³And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well. And they watered the sheep and returned the stone upon the mouth of the well to its place. ⁴And Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.” ⁵And he said to them, “Do you know Laban, son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.” ⁶And he said to them, “Is he well?”^c And they said, “He is well. Now look, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.” ⁷And he said, “Look, it is still broad daylight;^d it is not the time for the livestock to be gathered. Give water to the sheep and go, pasture them.” ⁸And they said, “We are not able, until all the flocks are gathered. Then the stone is rolled away from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.” ⁹While he was speaking with them, Rachel came with the sheep which belonged to her father, for she was pasturing them. ¹⁰And it happened that, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob drew near and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother. ¹¹And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept. ¹²And Jacob told Rachel that he was the relative of her father, and that he was the son of Rebekah. And she ran and told her father.
