6. “How is he?” Jacob asked.“He's fine,” they answered. “And here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”
7. Jacob told them, “Look, the sun is still high up in the sky, and it's too early to bring in the rest of the flocks. Water your sheep and take them back to the pasture.”
8. But they replied, “We can't do that until they all get here, and the rock has been rolled away from the well.”
9. While Jacob was still talking with the men, his cousin Rachel came up with her father's sheep.
10. When Jacob saw her and his uncle's sheep, he rolled the rock away and watered the sheep.

12. He told her that he was the son of her aunt Rebekah, and she ran and told her father about him.
