5. And questioning them, he said, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
6. He said, "Is he well?" "He is very well," they said. "And behold, his daughter Rachel approaches with his flock."
7. And Jacob said, "There is still much daylight remaining, and it is not time to return the flocks to the sheepfold. Give the sheep to drink first, and then lead them back to pasture."
8. They responded, "We cannot, until all the animals are gathered together and we remove the stone from the mouth of the well, so that we may water the flocks."
9. They were still speaking, and behold, Rachel arrived with her father's sheep; for she pastured the flock.
10. When Jacob had seen her, and he realized that she was his maternal first cousin, and that these were the sheep of his uncle Laban, he removed the stone which closed the well.
11. And having watered the flock, he kissed her. And lifting up his voice, he wept.
12. And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father.
