Genesis 29 1 Then Jacob went on his journey , and came into the land of the people of the east . Copy 2 And he looked , and behold a well in the field , and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks : and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth . Copy 3 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 his place . Copy 4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren , whence be ye? And they said , Of Haran are we. Copy 5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor ? And they said , We know him. Copy 6 And he said unto them, Is he well ? And they said , He is well : and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep . Copy 7 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. Copy 8 And they said , We cannot , until all the flocks be gathered together , and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth ; then we water the sheep . Copy 9 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep : for she kept them . Copy 10 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 . Copy 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel , and lifted up his voice , and wept . Copy 12 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 . Copy 13 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 . Copy 14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh . And he abode with him the space of a month . Copy 15 And Laban said unto Jacob , Because thou art my brother , shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought ? tell me, what shall thy wages be? Copy 16 And Laban had two daughters : the name of the elder was Leah , and the name of the younger was Rachel . Copy 17 Leah was tender eyed ; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured . Copy 18 And Jacob loved Rachel ; and said , I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter . Copy 19 And Laban said , It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man : abide with me. Copy 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel ; and they seemed unto him but a few days , for the love he had to her. Copy 21 And Jacob said unto Laban , Give me my wife , for my days are fulfilled , that I may go in unto her. Copy 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place , and made a feast . Copy 23 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. Copy 24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid . Copy 25 And it came to pass, that in the morning , 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? Copy 26 And Laban said , It must not be so done in our country , to give the younger before the firstborn . Copy 27 Fulfil her week , and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years . Copy 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week : and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. Copy 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid . Copy 30 And he went in also unto Rachel , and he loved also Rachel more than Leah , and served with him yet seven other years . Copy 31 And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated , he opened her womb : but Rachel was barren . Copy 32 And Leah conceived , and bare a son , and she called his name Reuben : for she said , Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction ; now therefore my husband will love me. Copy 33 And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and said , Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated , he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon . Copy 34 And she conceived again , and bare a son ; and said , Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons : therefore was his name called Levi . Copy 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son : and she said , Now will I praise the Lord : therefore she called his name Judah ; and left bearing . Copy
