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>.
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>.
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> <00> the stone <068> again <07725> (8689) upon the well#s <0875> mouth <06310> in his place <04725>.
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.
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.
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>.
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.
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>.
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).
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>.
11 And Jacob <03290> kissed <05401> (8799) Rachel <07354>, and lifted up <05375> (8799) his voice <06963>, and wept <01058> (8799).
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>.
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>.
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>.
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?
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>.
17 Leah <03812> was tender <07390> eyed <05869>; but Rachel <07354> was beautiful <03303> <08389> and well <03303> favoured <04758>.
18 And Jacob <03290> loved <0157> (8799) Rachel <07354>; and said <0559> (8799), I will serve <05647> (8799) thee seven <07651> years <08141> for Rachel <07354> thy younger <06996> daughter <01323>.
19 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799), It is better <02896> that I give <05414> (8800) her to thee, than that I should give <05414> (8800) her to another <0312> man <0376>: abide <03427> (8798) with me.
20 And Jacob <03290> served <05647> (8799) seven <07651> years <08141> for Rachel <07354>; and they seemed <05869> unto him but a few <0259> days <03117>, for the love he had <0160> to her.
21 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto Laban <03837>, Give <03051> (8798) me my wife <0802>, for my days <03117> are fulfilled <04390> (8804), that I may go in <0935> (8799) unto her.
22 And Laban <03837> gathered together <0622> (8799) all the men <0582> of the place <04725>, and made <06213> (8799) a feast <04960>.
23 And it came to pass in the evening <06153>, that he took <03947> (8799) Leah <03812> his daughter <01323>, and brought <0935> (8686) her to him; and he went in <0935> (8799) unto her.
24 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> (8799) unto his daughter <01323> Leah <03812> Zilpah <02153> his maid <08198> for an handmaid <08198>.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning <01242>, behold, it was Leah <03812>: and he said <0559> (8799) to Laban <03837>, What is this thou hast done <06213> (8804) unto me? did not I serve <05647> (8804) with thee for Rachel <07354> ? wherefore then hast thou beguiled <07411> (8765) me?
26 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799), It must not be so done <06213> (8735) in our country <04725> , to give <05414> (8800) the younger <06810> before <06440> the firstborn <01067>.
27 Fulfil <04390> (8761) her <02063> week <07620>, and we will give <05414> (8799) thee this also for the service <05656> which thou shalt serve <05647> (8799) with me yet seven <07651> other <0312> years <08141>.
28 And Jacob <03290> did <06213> (8799) so, and fulfilled <04390> (8762) her week <07620>: and he gave <05414> (8799) him Rachel <07354> his daughter <01323> to wife <0802> also.
29 And Laban <03837> gave <05414> (8799) to Rachel <07354> his daughter <01323> Bilhah <01090> his handmaid <08198> to be her maid <08198>.
30 And he went in <0935> (8799) also unto Rachel <07354>, and he loved <0157> (8799) also Rachel <07354> more than Leah <03812>, and served <05647> (8799) with him yet seven <07651> other <0312> years <08141>.
31 And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> (8799) that Leah <03812> was hated <08130> (8803) , he opened <06605> (8799) her womb <07358>: but Rachel <07354> was barren <06135>.
32 And Leah <03812> conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>, and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Reuben <07205>: for <03588> she said <0559> (8804), Surely <03588> the LORD <03068> hath looked <07200> (8804) upon my affliction <06040>; now therefore <03588> my husband <0376> will love <0157> (8799) me.
33 And she conceived <02029> (8799) again, and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>; and said <0559> (8799), Because the LORD <03068> hath heard <08085> (8804) that I was hated <08130> (8803), he hath therefore given <05414> (8799) me this son also: and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Simeon <08095>.
34 And she conceived again <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>; and said <0559> (8799), Now this time <06471> will my husband <0376> be joined <03867> (8735) unto me, because I have born <03205> (8804) him three <07969> sons <01121>: therefore was his name <08034> called <07121> (8804) Levi <03878>.
35 And she conceived <02029> (8799) again, and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>: and she said <0559> (8799), Now <06471> will I praise <03034> (8686) the LORD <03068>: therefore she called <07121> (8804) his name <08034> Judah <03063>; and left <05975> (8799) bearing <03205> (8800).
