1. Then Jacob walked on and came into the land of the people of the east.
2. And he looked and saw a well in the field, and, behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
3. And all the flocks gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth and water the sheep and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.
4. And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.
5. And he said unto them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6. And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and, behold, Rachel, his daughter, comes with the sheep.
