Book 01 Genesis Chapter 029

 

029:001Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the
people of the east.

 

029:002And 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.

 

029:003And 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.

 

029:004And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they
said, Of Haran are we.

 

029:005And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And
they said, We know him.

 

029:006And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well:
and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

 

029:007And 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.

 

029:008And 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.

 

029:009And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her
father's sheep; for she kept them.

 

029:010And 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.

 

029:011And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

 

029:012And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and
that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.

 

029:013And 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.

 

029:014And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh.
And he abode with him the space of a month.

 

029:015And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother,
shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what
shall thy wages be?

 

029:016And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah,
and the name of the younger was Rachel.

 

029:017Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well
favoured.

 

029:018And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven
years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

 

029:019And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than
that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

 

029:020And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto
him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

 

029:021And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are
fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

 

029:022And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made
a feast.

 

029:023And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his
daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

 

029:024And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an
handmaid.

 

029:025And 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?

 

029:026And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give
the younger before the firstborn.

 

029:027Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the
service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

 

029:028And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him
Rachel his daughter to wife also.

 

029:029And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to
be her maid.

 

029:030And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more
than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

 

029:031And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb:
but Rachel was barren.

 

029:032And 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.

 

029:033And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the
LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this
son also: and she called his name Simeon.

 

029:034And 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.

 

029:035And 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.
