01:029:007 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that
           the cattle should be gathered together:  water ye the sheep,
           and go and feed them.

01:029:008 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered
           together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth;
           then we water the sheep.

01:029:009 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her
           father’s sheep; for she kept them.

01:029:010 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 rolled the stone
           from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his
           mother’s brother.

01:029:011 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

01:029:012 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and
           that he was Rebekah’s son:  and she ran and told her father.

01:029:013 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his
           sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and
           kissed him, and brought him to his house.  And he told Laban
           all these things.

01:029:014 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. 
           And he abode with him the space of a month.

01:029:015 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother,
           shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what
           shall thy wages be?

01:029:016 And Laban had two daughters:  the name of the elder was Leah,
           and the name of the younger was Rachel.

01:029:017 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well
           favoured.

01:029:018 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven
           years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

01:029:019 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than
           that I should give her to another man:  abide with me.

01:029:020 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto
           him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

01:029:021 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are
           fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

01:029:022 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made
           a feast.

01:029:023 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his
           daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

01:029:024 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an
           handmaid.

01:029:025 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: 
           and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did
           not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou
           beguiled me?
