1
Then Jacob
went
on his journey,
and came
to the land
of the sons
of the east.
2
He looked, and saw
a well
in the field,
and behold,
three
flocks
of sheep
were lying
there
beside
it, for from that well
they watered
the
flocks
.
Now the stone
on the mouth
of the well
was large.
3
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
.
4
Jacob
said
to them, "My brothers,
where
are you from?" And they
said
,
"We are from Haran."
5
He said
to them, "Do you know
Laban
the son
of Nahor?"
And they said,
"We know
him."
6
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."
7
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."
8
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."
9
While he was still
speaking
with them, Rachel
came
with her father's
sheep,
for she was a shepherdess.
10
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.
11
Then Jacob
kissed
Rachel,
and lifted
his voice
and wept.
12
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.
13
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.
14
Laban
said
to him, "Surely
you are my bone
and my flesh."
And he stayed
with him a month.
15
Then Laban
said
to Jacob,
"Because
you are my relative,
should you therefore serve
me for nothing?
Tell
me, what
shall your wages
be?"
16
Now Laban
had two
daughters;
the name
of the older
was Leah,
and
the name
of the younger
was Rachel.
17
And Leah's
eyes
were weak,
but Rachel
was beautiful
of form
and face.
18
Now Jacob
loved
Rachel,
so he said,
"I will serve
you seven
years
for your younger
daughter
Rachel."
19
Laban
said,
"It is better
that I give
her to you than
to give
her to another
man;
stay
with me."
20
So Jacob
served
seven
years
for Rachel
and they seemed
to him but a few
days
because of his love
for her.
21
Then Jacob
said
to Laban,
"Give
me my wife,
for my time
is completed,
that I may go
in to her."
22
Laban
gathered
all
the men
of the place
and made
a feast.
23
Now in the evening
he took
his daughter
Leah,
and brought
her to him; and Jacob went
in to her.
24
Laban
also gave
his maid
Zilpah
to his daughter
Leah
as a maid.
25
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?"
26
But Laban
said,
"It is not the practice
in our place
to marry off
the younger
before
the firstborn.
27
"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."
28
Jacob
did
so
and completed
her week,
and he gave
him his daughter
Rachel
as his wife.
29
Laban
also gave
his maid
Bilhah
to his daughter
Rachel
as her maid.
30
So Jacob went
in to
Rachel
also,
and indeed
he loved
Rachel
more than
Leah,
and he served
with Laban for another
seven
years.
31
Now the LORD
saw
that Leah
was unloved,
and He opened
her womb,
but Rachel
was barren.
32
Leah
conceived
and bore
a son
and named
him Reuben,
for she said,
"Because
the LORD
has seen
my affliction;
surely
now
my husband
will love
me."
33
Then she conceived
again
and bore
a son
and said,
"Because
the LORD
has heard
that I am unloved,
He has therefore given
me this
son also."
So she named
him Simeon.
34
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.
35
And she conceived
again
and bore
a son
and said,
"This time
I will praise
the LORD."
Therefore
she named
him Judah.
Then she stopped
bearing.
