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?
