1 As Jacobcontinued on his way to the east, 2 he looked out in a field and saw a well where shepherds took their sheep for water. Three flocks of sheep were lying around the well, which was covered with a large rock. 3 Shepherds would roll the rock away when all their sheep had gathered there. Then after the sheep had been watered, the shepherds would roll the rock back over the mouth of the well.
4 Jacobasked the shepherds, "Where are you from?"
"We’re from Haran," they answered.
5 Then he asked, "Do you know Nahor’s grandson Laban?"
"Yes we do," they replied.
6 "How is he?" Jacob asked.
"He’s fine," they answered. "And here comes his daughter Rachelwith 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 Rachelcame up with her father’s sheep. 10 When Jacobsaw her and his uncle’s sheep, he rolled the rock away and watered the sheep. 11 He then kissed Racheland started crying because he was so happy. 12 He told her that he was the son of her aunt Rebekah, and she ran and told her father about him.
13 As soon as Labanheard the news, he ran out to meet Jacob. He hugged and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacobtold him everything that had happened. 14 Labansaid, "You are my nephew, and you are like one of my own family."
Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel
After Jacob had been there for a month, 15 Labansaid to him, "You shouldn’t have to work without pay, just because you are a relative of mine. What do you want me to give you?"
16,17 Labanhad two daughters. Leahwas older than Rachel, but her eyes didn’t sparkle,29.16,17 but her eyes didn’t sparkle: Or "and her eyes sparkled."while Rachelwas beautiful and had a good figure. 18 Since Jacobwas in love with Rachel, he answered, "If you will let me marry Rachel, I’ll work seven years for you."
19 Labanreplied, "It’s better for me to let you marry Rachel than for someone else to have her. So stay and work for me." 20 Jacobworked seven years for Laban, but the time seemed like only a few days, because he loved Rachelso much.
21 Jacobsaid to Laban, "The time is up, and I want to marry Rachel now!" 22 So Labangave a big feast and invited all their neighbors. 23 But that evening he brought Leahto Jacob, who married her and spent the night with her. 24 Labanalso gave Zilpahto Leahas her servant woman.
25 The next morning Jacob found out that he had married Leah, and he asked Laban, "Why did you do this to me? Didn’t I work to get Rachel? Why did you trick me?"
26 Labanreplied, "In our country the older daughter must get married first. 27 After you spend this week29.27 this week: The wedding feast lasted for seven days (see Judges 14.12,17).with Leah, you may also marry Rachel. But you will have to work for me another seven years."
28-30 At the end of the week of celebration, Labanlet Jacobmarry Rachel, and he gave her his servant woman Bilhah. Jacobloved Rachelmore than he did Leah, but he had to work another seven years for Laban.
31 The Lordknew that Jacob loved Rachelmore than he did Leah, and so he gave children to Leah, but not to Rachel. 32 Leahgave birth to a son and named him Reuben.29.32 Reuben: In Hebrew "Reuben" means, "Look, a son!"Then she said, "The Lordhas taken away my sorrow. Now my husband will love me more than he does Rachel." 33 She had a second son and named him Simeon,29.33 Simeon: In Hebrew "Simeon" sounds like "someone who hears."because she said, "The Lordhas heard that my husband doesn’t love me." 34 When Leah’s third son was born, she said, "Now my husband will hold me close." So this son was named Levi.29.34 hold me close … Levi: In Hebrew "Levi" sounds like "hold (someone) close."35 She had one more son and named him Judah,29.35 Judah: In Hebrew "Judah" sounds like "praise."because she said, "I’ll praise the Lord!"
