1 And he lifted up Jacob feet his and he went [the] land of towards [the] people of [the] east.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2 And he saw and there! a well [was] in the field and there! there three flocks of sheep [were] lying down at it for from the well that people watered the flocks and the stone [was] large over [the] mouth of the well.
And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great.
3 And they were gathered there towards all the flocks and they rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and they watered the sheep and they put back the stone over [the] mouth of the well to place its.
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.
4 And he said to them Jacob O brothers my from where? [are] you and they said [are] from Haran we.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 And he said to them ¿ do you know Laban [the] son of Nahor and they said we know [him].
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 And he said to them ¿ [does] health [belong] to him and they said health and there! Rachel daughter his [is] coming with the sheep.
And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 And he said here! still the day [is] great not [the] time of [the] being gathered of the livestock water the sheep and go pasture [them].
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 And they said not we are able until that they will be gathered all the flocks and people will roll the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and we will water the sheep.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Still [was] he speaking with them and Rachel - she came with the sheep which [belonged] to father her for [was] a shepherdess she.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
10 And it was just as he saw Jacob Rachel [the] daughter of Laban [the] brother of mother his and [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his and he drew near Jacob and he rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and he watered [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his.
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 And he kissed Jacob Rachel and he lifted up voice his and he wept.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 And he told Jacob to Rachel that [was] [the] relative of father her he and that [was] [the] son of Rebekah he and she ran and she told to father her.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
13 And it was when heard Laban [the] report of - Jacob [the] son of sister his and he ran to meet him and he embraced him and he kissed him and he brought him to house his and he recounted to Laban all the things these.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 And he said to him Laban surely [are] bone my and flesh my you and he remained with him a month of days.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 And he said Laban to Jacob ¿ for relative my [are] you and you will serve me for nothing tell! to me what? [is] wage[s] your.
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 And [belonged] to Laban two daughters [the] name of the old [one] [was] Leah and [the] name of the young [one] [was] Rachel.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 And [the] eyes of Leah [were] weak and Rachel she was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18 And he loved Jacob Rachel and he said I will serve you seven years for Rachel daughter your young.
And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 And he said Laban ([is] good *Lb) to give I her to you more than to give I her to a man another remain! with me.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 And he served Jacob for Rachel seven years and they were in eyes his like days one in love his her.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 And he said Jacob to Laban give! wife my for they have been completed days my so I may go into her.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And he gathered Laban all [the] people of the place and he prepared a feast.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 And it was in the evening and he took Leah daughter his and he brought her to him and he went into her.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 And he had given Laban to her Zilpah maidservant his to Leah daughter his a maidservant.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
25 And it was in the morning and there! she [was] Leah and he said to Laban what? this have you done to me ¿ not for Rachel have I served with you and why? have you deceived me.
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 And he said Laban not it is done thus in place our to give the young before the firstborn.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.
27 Complete [the] week of this [one] so let us give to you also this [one] for [the] service which you will serve with me again seven years another.
Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And he did Jacob thus and he completed [the] week of this [one] and he gave to him Rachel daughter his of him to a wife.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 And he had given Laban to Rachel daughter his Bilhah maidservant his to her to [be] a maidservant.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
30 And he went also into Rachel and he loved also Rachel more than Leah and he served with him again seven years another.
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 And he saw Yahweh that [was] hated Leah and he opened womb her and Rachel [was] barren.
And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 And she conceived Leah and she bore a son and she called name his Reuben for she said that he has looked Yahweh on affliction my for now he will love me husband my.
And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
33 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said that he has heard Yahweh that [am] hated I and he has given to me also this [one] and she called name his Simeon.
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said now this time he will join himself husband my to me for I have borne to him three sons there-fore he called name his Levi.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said this time I will praise Yahweh there-fore she called name his Judah and she stopped from bearing children.
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise Jehovah: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left off bearing.
