1 Jacobcontinued on his way and went toward the land of the East. 2 Suddenly he came upon a well out in the fields with three flocks of sheep lying around it. The flocks were watered from this well, which had a large stone over the opening. 3 Whenever all the flocks came together there, the shepherds would roll the stone back and water them. Then they would put the stone back in place.
4 Jacobasked the shepherds, "My friends, where are you from?"
"From Haran," they answered.
5 He asked, "Do you know Laban, grandson of Nahor?"
"Yes, we do," they answered.
6 "Is he well?" he asked.
"He is well," they answered. "Look, here comes his daughter Rachelwith his flock."
7 Jacob said, "Since it is still broad daylight and not yet time to bring the flocks in, why don’t you water them and take them back to pasture?"
8 They answered, "We can’t do that until all the flocks are here and the stone has been rolled back; then we will water the flocks."
9 While Jacob was still talking with them, Rachelarrived with the flock. 10 When Jacobsaw Rachelwith his uncle Laban’s flock, he went to the well, rolled the stone back, and watered the sheep. 11 Then he kissed her and began to cry for joy. 12 He told her, "I am your father’s relative, the son of Rebecca."
She ran to tell her father; 13 and when he heard the news about his nephew Jacob, he ran to meet him, hugged him and kissed him, and brought him into the house. When Jacobtold Labaneverything that had happened, 14 Labansaid, "Yes, indeed, you are my own flesh and blood." Jacob stayed there a whole month.
Jacob Serves Laban for Rachel and Leah
15 Labansaid to Jacob, "You shouldn’t work for me for nothing just because you are my relative. How much pay do you want?" 16 Labanhad two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger Rachel. 17 Leahhad lovely29.17: lovely; or weak.eyes, but Rachelwas shapely and beautiful.
18 Jacobwas in love with Rachel, so he said, "I will work seven years for you, if you will let me marry Rachel."
19 Labananswered, "I would rather give her to you than to anyone else; stay here with me." 20 Jacobworked seven years so that he could have Rachel, and the time seemed like only a few days to him, because he loved her.
21 Then Jacobsaid to Laban, "The time is up; let me marry your daughter." 22 So Labangave a wedding feast and invited everyone. 23 But that night, instead of Rachel, he took Leahto Jacob, and Jacob had intercourse with her. ( 24 Labangave his slave woman Zilpahto his daughter Leahas her maid.) 25 Not until the next morning did Jacob discover that it was Leah. He went to Labanand said, "Why did you do this to me? I worked to get Rachel. Why have you tricked me?"
26 Labananswered, "It is not the custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older. 27 Wait until the week’s marriage celebrations are over, and I will give you Rachel, if you will work for me another seven years."
28 Jacobagreed, and when the week of marriage celebrations was over, Laban gave him his daughter Rachelas his wife. ( 29 Labangave his slave woman Bilhahto his daughter Rachelas her maid.) 30 Jacob had intercourse with Rachelalso, and he loved her more than Leah. Then he worked for Laban another seven years.
The Children Born to Jacob
31 When the Lordsaw that Leahwas loved less than Rachel, he made it possible for her to have children, but Rachelremained childless. 32 Leahbecame pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, "The Lordhas seen my trouble, and now my husband will love me"; so she named him Reuben.29.32: Reuben: This name sounds like the Hebrew for "see, a son" and "has seen my trouble."33 She became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, "The Lordhas given me this son also, because he heard that I was not loved"; so she named him Simeon.29.33: Simeon: This name sounds like the Hebrew for "hear."34 Once again she became pregnant and gave birth to another son. She said, "Now my husband will be bound more tightly to me, because I have borne him three sons"; so she named him Levi.29.34: Levi: This name sounds like the Hebrew for "bound."35 Then she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, "This time I will praise the Lord"; so she named him Judah.29.35: Judah: This name sounds like the Hebrew for "praise."Then she stopped having children.
