Genesis 29:1 Then Jacob3290 went on5375 his journey,7272{Heb. lift up his feet} and came3212 into the land776 of the people1121{Heb. children} of the east.69242 And he looked,7200 and behold a well875 in the field,7704 and, lo, there were three7969 flocks5739 of sheep6629 lying7257 by it; for out of that well875 they watered8248 the flocks:5739 and a great1419 stone68was upon the well's875 mouth.63103 And thither were all the flocks5739 gathered:622 and they rolled1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 the sheep,6629 and put77252794 the stone68 again7725 upon the well's875 mouth6310 in his place.47254 And Jacob3290 said559 unto them, My brethren,251 whence370be ye? And they said,559 Of Haran2771are we.
5 And he said559 unto them, Know3045 ye Laban3837 the son1121 of Nahor?5152 And they said,559 We know3045him.6 And he said559 unto them, Is he well?7965{Heb. Is there peace to him?} And they said,559Heis well:7965 and, behold, Rachel7354 his daughter1323 cometh935 with the sheep.66297 And he said,559 Lo,2005itis yet high1419 day,3117{Heb. yet the day is great} neither isit time6256 that the cattle4735 should be gathered together:622 water8248 ye the sheep,6629 and go3212and feed7462them.8 And they said,559 We cannot,3201 until all the flocks5739 be gathered together,622 and till they roll1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth;6310 then we water8248 the sheep.6629
Genesis 29:9 And while he yet5750 spake1696 with them, Rachel7354 came935 with her father's1 sheep:6629 for she kept them.746210 And it came to pass, when Jacob3290 saw7200 Rachel7354 the daughter1323 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 and the sheep6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 that Jacob3290 went near,5066 and rolled1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 the flock6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother.25111 And Jacob3290 kissed5401 Rachel,7354 and lifted up5375 his voice,6963 and wept.105812 And Jacob3290 told5046 Rachel7354 that he was her father's1 brother,251 and that he was Rebekah's7259 son:1121 and she ran7323 and told5046 her father.113 And it came to pass, when Laban3837 heard8085 the tidings8088{Heb. hearing} of Jacob3290 his sister's269 son,1121 that he ran7323 to meet7125 him, and embraced2263 him, and kissed5401 him, and brought935 him to his house.1004 And he told5608 Laban3837 all these things.169714 And Laban3837 said559 to him, Surely389 thou art my bone6106 and my flesh.1320 And he abode3427 with him the space3117 of a month.2320{Heb. a month of days}
Genesis 29:15 And Laban3837 said559 unto Jacob,3290 Because thou art my brother,251 shouldest thou therefore serve5647 me for nought?2600 tell5046 me, what shall thy wages4909be?16 And Laban3837 had two8147 daughters:1323 the name8034 of the elder1419was Leah,3812 and the name8034 of the younger6996was Rachel.735417 Leah3812was tender7390 eyed;5869 but Rachel7354 was beautiful33038389 and well3303 favoured.475818 And Jacob3290 loved157 Rachel;7354 and said,559 I will serve5647 thee seven7651 years8141 for Rachel7354 thy younger6996 daughter.132319 And Laban3837 said,559Itis better2896 that I give5414 her to thee, than that I should give5414 her to another312 man:376 abide3427 with me.
20 And Jacob3290 served5647 seven7651 years8141 for Rachel;7354 and they seemed5869 unto him but a few259 days,3117 for the love he had160 to her.
Genesis 29:21 And Jacob3290 said559 unto Laban,3837 Give3051me my wife,802 for my days3117 are fulfilled,4390 that I may go in935 unto her.
22 And Laban3837 gathered together622 all the men582 of the place,4725 and made6213 a feast.496023 And it came to pass in the evening,6153 that he took3947 Leah3812 his daughter,1323 and brought935 her to him; and he went in935 unto her.
24 And Laban3837 gave5414 unto his daughter1323 Leah3812 Zilpah2153 his maid8198for an handmaid.819825 And it came to pass, that in the morning,1242 behold, it was Leah:3812 and he said559 to Laban,3837 What is this thou hast done6213 unto me? did not I serve5647 with thee for Rachel?7354 wherefore then hast thou beguiled7411 me?
26 And Laban3837 said,559 It must not be so done6213 in our country,4725{Heb. place} to give5414 the younger6810 before6440 the firstborn.106727 Fulfil4390 her2063 week,7620 and we will give5414 thee this also for the service5656 which thou shalt serve5647 with me yet seven7651 other312 years.814128 And Jacob3290 did6213 so, and fulfilled4390 her week:7620 and he gave5414 him Rachel7354 his daughter1323 to wife802 also.
29 And Laban3837 gave5414 to Rachel7354 his daughter1323 Bilhah1090 his handmaid8198 to be her maid.819830 And he went in935 also unto Rachel,7354 and he loved157 also Rachel7354 more than Leah,3812 and served5647 with him yet seven7651 other312 years.8141
Genesis 29:31 And when the LORD3068 saw7200 that Leah3812was hated,8130 he opened6605 her womb:7358 but Rachel7354was barren.613532 And Leah3812 conceived,2029 and bare3205 a son,1121 and she called7121 his name8034 Reuben:7205{that is, See a son} for3588 she said,559 Surely3588 the LORD3068 hath looked7200 upon my affliction;6040 now therefore3588 my husband376 will love157 me.
Genesis 29:33 And she conceived2029 again, and bare3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Because the LORD3068 hath heard8085 that I was hated,8130 he hath therefore given5414 me this son also: and she called7121 his name8034 Simeon.8095{that is, Hearing}
Genesis 29:34 And she conceived again,2029 and bare3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Now this time6471 will my husband376 be joined3867 unto me, because I have born3205 him three7969 sons:1121 therefore was his name8034 called7121 Levi.3878{that is, joined}
Genesis 29:35 And she conceived2029 again, and bare3205 a son:1121 and she said,559 Now6471 will I praise3034 the LORD:3068 therefore she called7121 his name8034 Judah;3063{that is, Praise} and left5975 bearing.3205{Heb. stood from bearing}
