|
|
3. And all the flocks were usually gathered there, and they rolled the stone off the mouth of the well and watered the sheep, and replaced the stone on the mouth of the well, to its place.
|
3. And thither H8033 were all H3605 the flocks H5739 gathered H622 : and they rolled H1556 H853 the stone H68 from H4480 H5921 the well H875 's mouth H6310 , and watered H8248 H853 the sheep H6629 , and put H7725 H853 the stone H68 again upon H5921 the well H875 's mouth H6310 in his place H4725 .

|
4. And Jacob said to them, My brothers, from where are you? And they said, We are from Haran.
|
4. And Jacob H3290 said H559 unto them , My brethren H251 , whence H4480 H370 be ye H859 ? And they said H559 , Of Haran H4480 H2771 are we H587 .
|
|
5. And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
|
5. And he said H559 unto them, Know H3045 ye H853 Laban H3837 the son H1121 of Nahor H5152 ? And they said H559 , We know H3045 him .
|
|
6. And he said to them, Well-being to him? And they said, Well-being. And, behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the sheep.
|
6. And he said H559 unto them, Is he well H7965 ? And they said H559 , He is well H7965 : and, behold H2009 , Rachel H7354 his daughter H1323 cometh H935 with H5973 the sheep H6629 .
|
|
7. And he said, Behold, the day is still high; it is not time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and go feed them.
|
7. And he said H559 , Lo H2005 , it is yet H5750 high H1419 day H3117 , neither H3808 is it time H6256 that the cattle H4735 should be gathered together H622 : water H8248 ye the sheep H6629 , and go H1980 and feed H7462 them .
|
|
8. And they said, We are not able until all the flocks are gathered and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.
|
8. And they said H559 , We cannot H3808 H3201 , until H5704 H834 all H3605 the flocks H5739 be gathered together H622 , and till they roll H1556 H853 the stone H68 from H4480 H5921 the well H875 's mouth H6310 ; then we water H8248 the sheep H6629 .
|
|
9. He still was speaking with them, and Rachel came with the sheep which were her father's; for she was feeding them.
|
9. And while he yet H5750 spoke H1696 with H5973 them, Rachel H7354 came H935 with H5973 her father H1 's sheep H6629 : for H3588 she H1931 kept H7462 them.
|

And it came to pass H1961 , when H834 Jacob H3290 saw H7200 H853 Rachel H7354 the daughter H1323 of Laban H3837 his mother H517 's brother H251 , and the sheep H6629 of Laban H3837 his mother H517 's brother H251 , that Jacob H3290 went near H5066 , and rolled H1556 H853 the stone H68 from H4480 H5921 the well H875 's mouth H6310 , and watered H8248 H853 the flock H6629 of Laban H3837 his mother H517 's brother H251 .

|
|
14. And Laban said to him, Truly you are my bone and my flesh. And he lived with him a month of days.
|
14. And Laban H3837 said H559 to him, Surely H389 thou H859 art my bone H6106 and my flesh H1320 . And he abode H3427 with H5973 him the space H3117 of a month H2320 .
|
|
15. And Laban said to Jacob, are you not my brother? And should you serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall be your wages?
|
15. And Laban H3837 said H559 unto Jacob H3290 , Because H3588 thou H859 art my brother H251 , shouldest thou therefore serve H5647 me for naught H2600 ? tell H5046 me, what H4100 shall thy wages H4909 be ?

|
|
17. And the eyes of Leah were weak, and Rachel was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
|
17. Leah H3812 was tender H7390 eyed H5869 ; but Rachel H7354 was H1961 beautiful H3303 H8389 and well H3303 favored H4758 .

|
|
19. And Laban said, It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; live with me.
|
19. And Laban H3837 said H559 , It is better H2896 that I give H5414 her to thee , than that I should give H4480 H5414 her to another H312 man H376 : abide H3427 with H5973 me.
|
|
20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes like a few days, in his love for her.
|
20. And Jacob H3290 served H5647 seven H7651 years H8141 for Rachel H7354 ; and they seemed H1961 H5869 unto him but a few H259 days H3117 , for the love H160 he had to her.
|
|
21. And Jacob said to Laban, Give my wife, for my days are completed. And let me go in to her.
|
21. And Jacob H3290 said H559 unto H413 Laban H3837 , Give H3051 me H853 my wife H802 , for H3588 my days H3117 are fulfilled H4390 , that I may go in H935 unto H413 her.

|
|
25. And it happened in the morning; behold! She was Leah. And he said to Laban, What have you done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? And why have you tricked me?
|
25. And it came to pass H1961 , that in the morning H1242 , behold H2009 , it H1931 was Leah H3812 : and he said H559 to H413 Laban H3837 , What H4100 is this H2063 thou hast done H6213 unto me? did not H3808 I serve H5647 with H5973 thee for Rachel H7354 ? wherefore H4100 then hast thou beguiled H7411 me?
|
|
26. And Laban said, It is not done this way in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.
|
26. And Laban H3837 said H559 , It must not H3808 be so H3651 done H6213 in our country H4725 , to give H5414 the younger H6810 before H6440 the firstborn H1067 .
|
|
27. Fulfill the week of this one and we will also give you this other one, for the service which you will serve with me, yet another seven years.
|
27. Fulfill H4390 her H2063 week H7620 , and we will give H5414 thee H853 this H2063 also H1571 for the service H5656 which H834 thou shalt serve H5647 with H5973 me yet H5750 seven H7651 other H312 years H8141 .

|
28. And Jacob H3290 did H6213 so H3651 , and fulfilled H4390 her H2063 week H7620 : and he gave H5414 him H853 Rachel H7354 his daughter H1323 to wife H802 also.

|
29. And Laban gave his slave-girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel, to her for a slave-girl.
|
29. And Laban H3837 gave H5414 to Rachel H7354 his daughter H1323 H853 Bilhah H1090 his handmaid H8198 to be her maid H8198 .
|

30. And he also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.
|
30. And he went in H935 also H1571 unto H413 Rachel H7354 , and he loved H157 also H1571 H853 Rachel H7354 more than Leah H4480 H3812 , and served H5647 with H5973 him yet H5750 seven H7651 other H312 years H8141 .

|
31. And when the LORD H3068 saw H7200 that H3588 Leah H3812 was hated H8130 , he opened H6605 H853 her womb H7358 : but Rachel H7354 was barren H6135 .
|
|
32. And Leah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Reuben; for she said, Surely Jehovah has looked on my affliction, for now my husband will love me.
|
32. And Leah H3812 conceived H2029 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 , and she called H7121 his name H8034 Reuben H7205 : for H3588 she said H559 , Surely H3588 the LORD H3068 hath looked H7200 upon my affliction H6040 ; now H6258 therefore H3588 my husband H376 will love H157 me.
|
|
33. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Surely Jehovah has heard that I am hated and has given this one to me also. And she called his name Simeon.
|
33. And she conceived H2029 again H5750 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and said H559 , Because H3588 the LORD H3068 hath heard H8085 that H3588 I H595 was hated H8130 , he hath therefore given H5414 me H853 this H2088 son also H1571 : and she called H7121 his name H8034 Simeon H8095 .
|
|
34. And she conceived again and bore a son. And she said, Now, this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne to him three sons. So his name was called Levi.
|
34. And she conceived H2029 again H5750 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and said H559 , Now H6258 this time H6471 will my husband H376 be joined H3867 unto H413 me, because H3588 I have born H3205 him three H7969 sons H1121 : therefore H5921 H3651 was his name H8034 called H7121 Levi H3878 .
|
|
35. And she conceived again and bore a son. And she said, This time I praise Jehovah. So she called his name Judah. And she ceased from bearing.
|
35. And she conceived H2029 again H5750 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 : and she said H559 , Now H6471 will I praise H3034 H853 the LORD H3068 : therefore H5921 H3651 she called H7121 his name H8034 Judah H3063 ; and left H5975 bearing H4480 H3205 .
