1Jacob lifted his feet and walked to the land of the sons of the East.2He saw, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there upon it, because from that well the flocks were watered; and the stone was large upon the mouth of the well.3All the flocks gathered there, and they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock and returned the stone upon the mouth of the well to its place.4Jacob said to them, "My brothers, from where are you?" And they said, "We are from Haran."5He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" And they said, "We know."6He said to them, "Is it well with him?" And they said, "It is well; and behold, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock."7He said, "Look, the day is still long; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock and go, pasture them."8They said, "We are not able until all the flocks are gathered and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well and we water the flock."9He was still speaking with them when Rachel came with the flock that belonged to her father, for she was the one pasturing.10When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban the brother of his mother, and the flock of Laban the brother of his mother, Jacob approached and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban the brother of his mother.11Jacob kissed Rachel, lifted his voice, and wept.12Jacob told Rachel that he was the brother of her father and the son of Rebekah; she ran and told her father.13When Laban heard the report of Jacob the son of his sister, he ran to meet him, embraced him, kissed him, brought him to his house, and Jacob recounted to Laban all these words.14Laban said to him, "You are indeed my bone and my flesh." So he stayed with him a month of days.
