1. Then Jacob went on his journey and came into the land of the people of the east.
2. As he looked, he saw a well in the field and three flocks of sheep lying by it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. A large stone was on the well’s opening.
3. When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds rolled the stone from the well’s opening, watered the sheep, then put the stone back on the well’s opening in its place.
4. Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?”And they said, “We are from Harran.”
5. Then he said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?”And they said, “We know him.”
