2and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone is on the mouth of the well. 3(When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.) 4And Jacob saith to them, ‘My brethren, from whence are ye?’ and they say, ‘We are from Haran.’ 5And he saith to them, ‘Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?’ and they say, ‘We have known.’ 6And he saith to them, ‘Hath he peace?’ and they say, ‘Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.’ 7And he saith, ‘Lo, the day is still great, it is not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.’ 8And they say, ‘We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.’

9He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she is shepherdess; 10and it cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel, daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the flock of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and weepeth, 12and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he is her father’s brother, and that he is Rebekah’s son, and she runneth and declareth to her father.
