Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-3.htm" target="_top"><b>3</b></a></span>When all the flocks were gathered there, they would then roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-4.htm" target="_top"><b>4</b></a></span>Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-5.htm" target="_top"><b>5</b></a></span>He said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know <i>him.</i>” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-6.htm" target="_top"><b>6</b></a></span>And he said to them, “Is it well with him?” And they said, “It is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-7.htm" target="_top"><b>7</b></a></span>He said, “Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-8.htm" target="_top"><b>8</b></a></span>But they said, “We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.”<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-9.htm" target="_top"><b>9</b></a></span>While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-10.htm" target="_top"><b>10</b></a></span>When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-11.htm" target="_top"><b>11</b></a></span>Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted his voice and wept. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-12.htm" target="_top"><b>12</b></a></span>Jacob told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and that he was Rebekah’s son, and she ran and told her father.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-13.htm" target="_top"><b>13</b></a></span>So when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister’s son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-14.htm" target="_top"><b>14</b></a></span>Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him a month.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-15.htm" target="_top"><b>15</b></a></span>Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-16.htm" target="_top"><b>16</b></a></span>Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-17.htm" target="_top"><b>17</b></a></span>And Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful of form and face. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-18.htm" target="_top"><b>18</b></a></span>Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-19.htm" target="_top"><b>19</b></a></span>Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-20.htm" target="_top"><b>20</b></a></span>So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her.<p> <font size="1"><br><br></font><font color="#000000"><b><i>Laban’s Treachery</i></b></font><font size="1"><br><br></font> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-21.htm" target="_top"><b>21</b></a></span>Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give <i>me</i> my wife, for my time is completed, that I may go in to her.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-22.htm" target="_top"><b>22</b></a></span>Laban gathered all the men of the place and made a feast. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-23.htm" target="_top"><b>23</b></a></span>Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and <i>Jacob</i> went in to her. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-24.htm" target="_top"><b>24</b></a></span>Laban also gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-25.htm" target="_top"><b>25</b></a></span>So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-26.htm" target="_top"><b>26</b></a></span>But Laban said, “It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-27.htm" target="_top"><b>27</b></a></span>“Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-28.htm" target="_top"><b>28</b></a></span>Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-29.htm" target="_top"><b>29</b></a></span>Laban also gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maid. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-30.htm" target="_top"><b>30</b></a></span>So <i>Jacob</i> went in to Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-31.htm" target="_top"><b>31</b></a></span>Now the L<font size="1">ORD</font> saw that Leah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-32.htm" target="_top"><b>32</b></a></span>Leah conceived and bore a son and named him Reuben, for she said, “Because the L<font size="1">ORD</font> has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-33.htm" target="_top"><b>33</b></a></span>Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, “Because the L<font size="1">ORD</font> has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this <i>son</i> also.” So she named him Simeon. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-34.htm" target="_top"><b>34</b></a></span>She conceived again and bore a son and said, “Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore he was named Levi. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/29-35.htm" target="_top"><b>35</b></a></span>And she conceived again and bore a son and said, “This time I will praise the L<font size="1">ORD</font>.” Therefore she named him Judah.
