5 Then he said to them, “Do you know aLaban the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.”
6 So he said to them, a“Is he well?” And they said, “He is well. And look, his daughter Rachel bis coming with the sheep.”
7 Then he said, “Look, it is still1 high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
8 But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.”
9 Now while he was still speaking with them, aRachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near and arolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 Then Jacob akissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was aher father’s relative and that he was Rebekah’s son. bSo she ran and told her father.
