Genesis 29:4-11 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

4. And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

5. And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him.

6. And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.

7. And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed them.

8. And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.

9. While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

10. 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 mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
