Chapter 29

1 Then Jacob3290 went on his journey,5375 7272 and came1980 into the land776 of the people1121 of the east.6924

2 And he looked,7200 and behold2009 a well875 in the field,7704 and, lo,2009 there8033 were three7969 flocks5739 of sheep6629 lying7257 by5921 it; for3588 out of4480 that1931 well875 they watered8248 the flocks:5739 and a great1419 stone68 was upon5921 the well's875 mouth.6310

3 And thither8033 were all3605 the flocks5739 gathered:622 and they rolled1556 853 the stone68 from4480 5921 the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 853 the sheep,6629 and put7725 853 the stone68 again upon5921 the well's875 mouth6310 in his place.4725

4 And Jacob3290 said559 unto them, My brethren,251 whence4480 370 be ye?859 And they said,559 Of Haran4480 2771 are we.587

5 And he said559 unto them, Know3045 ye853 Laban3837 the son1121 of Nahor?5152 And they said,559 We know3045 him.

6 And he said559 unto them, Is he well?7965 And they said,559 He is well:7965 and, behold,2009 Rachel7354 his daughter1323 cometh935 with5973 the sheep.6629

7 And he said,559 Lo,2005 it is yet5750 high1419 day,3117 neither3808 is it time6256 that the cattle4735 should be gathered together:622 water8248 ye the sheep,6629 and go1980 and feed7462 them.

8 And they said,559 We cannot,3808 3201 until5704 834 all3605 the flocks5739 be gathered together,622 and till they roll1556 853 the stone68 from4480 5921 the well's875 mouth;6310 then we water8248 the sheep.6629

9 And while he yet5750 spoke1696 with5973 them, Rachel7354 came935 with5973 her father's1 sheep:6629 for3588 she1931 kept7462 them.

10 And it came to pass,1961 when834 Jacob3290 saw7200 853 Rachel7354 the daughter1323 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 and the sheep6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 that Jacob3290 went near,5066 and rolled1556 853 the stone68 from4480 5921 the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 853 the flock6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother.251

11 And Jacob3290 kissed5401 Rachel,7354 and lifted up5375 853 his voice,6963 and wept.1058

12 And Jacob3290 told5046 Rachel7354 that3588 he1931 was her father's1 brother,251 and that3588 he1931 was Rebekah's7259 son:1121 and she ran7323 and told5046 her father.1

13 And it came to pass,1961 when Laban3837 heard8085 853 the tidings8088 of Jacob3290 his sister's269 son,1121 that he ran7323 to meet7125 him, and embraced2263 him, and kissed5401 him, and brought935 him to413 his house.1004 And he told5608 Laban3837 853 all3605 these428 things.1697

14 And Laban3837 said559 to him, Surely389 thou859 art my bone6106 and my flesh.1320 And he abode3427 with5973 him the space3117 of a month.2320

15 And Laban3837 said559 unto Jacob,3290 Because3588 thou859 art my brother,251 shouldest thou therefore serve5647 me for naught?2600 tell5046 me, what4100 shall thy wages4909 be?

16 And Laban3837 had two8147 daughters:1323 the name8034 of the elder1419 was Leah,3812 and the name8034 of the younger6996 was Rachel.7354

17 Leah3812 was tender7390 eyed;5869 but Rachel7354 was1961 beautiful3303 8389 and well3303 favored.4758

18 And Jacob3290 loved157 853 Rachel;7354 and said,559 I will serve5647 thee seven7651 years8141 for Rachel7354 thy younger6996 daughter.1323

19 And Laban3837 said,559 It is better2896 that I give5414 her to thee, than that I should give4480 5414 her to another312 man:376 abide3427 with5973 me.

20 And Jacob3290 served5647 seven7651 years8141 for Rachel;7354 and they seemed1961 5869 unto him but a few259 days,3117 for the love160 he had to her.

21 And Jacob3290 said559 unto413 Laban,3837 Give3051 me853 my wife,802 for3588 my days3117 are fulfilled,4390 that I may go in935 unto413 her.

22 And Laban3837 gathered together622 853 all3605 the men376 of the place,4725 and made6213 a feast.4960

23 And it came to pass1961 in the evening,6153 that he took3947 853 Leah3812 his daughter,1323 and brought935 her to413 him; and he went in935 unto413 her.

24 And Laban3837 gave5414 unto his daughter1323 Leah3812 853 Zilpah2153 his maid8198 for a handmaid.8198

25 And it came to pass,1961 that in the morning,1242 behold,2009 it1931 was Leah:3812 and he said559 to413 Laban,3837 What4100 is this2063 thou hast done6213 unto me? did not3808 I serve5647 with5973 thee for Rachel?7354 wherefore4100 then hast thou beguiled7411 me?

26 And Laban3837 said,559 It must not3808 be so3651 done6213 in our country,4725 to give5414 the younger6810 before6440 the firstborn.1067

27 Fulfill4390 her2063 week,7620 and we will give5414 thee853 this2063 also1571 for the service5656 which834 thou shalt serve5647 with5973 me yet5750 seven7651 other312 years.8141

28 And Jacob3290 did6213 so,3651 and fulfilled4390 her2063 week:7620 and he gave5414 him853 Rachel7354 his daughter1323 to wife802 also.

29 And Laban3837 gave5414 to Rachel7354 his daughter1323 853 Bilhah1090 his handmaid8198 to be her maid.8198

30 And he went in935 also1571 unto413 Rachel,7354 and he loved157 also1571 853 Rachel7354 more than Leah,4480 3812 and served5647 with5973 him yet5750 seven7651 other312 years.8141

31 And when the LORD3068 saw7200 that3588 Leah3812 was hated,8130 he opened6605 853 her womb:7358 but Rachel7354 was barren.6135

32 And Leah3812 conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son,1121 and she called7121 his name8034 Reuben:7205 for3588 she said,559 Surely3588 the LORD3068 hath looked7200 upon my affliction;6040 now6258 therefore3588 my husband376 will love157 me.

33 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Because3588 the LORD3068 hath heard8085 that3588 I595 was hated,8130 he hath therefore given5414 me853 this2088 son also:1571 and she called7121 his name8034 Simeon.8095

34 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Now6258 this time6471 will my husband376 be joined3867 unto413 me, because3588 I have born3205 him three7969 sons:1121 therefore5921 3651 was his name8034 called7121 Levi.3878

35 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son:1121 and she said,559 Now6471 will I praise3034 853 the LORD:3068 therefore5921 3651 she called7121 his name8034 Judah;3063 and left5975 bearing.4480 3205

Chapter 29

1 THEN Jacob hastened on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.

2 And he looked, and beheld 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 large stone was upon the well's mouth.

3 And all the flocks were gathered there; and the shepherds rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and then put the stone back in its place upon the well's mouth.

4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, where do you come from? And they said, We are from Haran.

5 And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him.

6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well; and, behold, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.

7 And Jacob said, Lo, the sun is still high, it is not yet time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go and feed them.

8 And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the shepherds roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

9 gland while he was still conversing with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess.

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 drew near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.

13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. And Jacob related to Laban all these things.

14 And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And t he stayed with him for a month.

15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore work for me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?

16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel.

17 And Leah had attractive eyes; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.

19 And Laban said to him, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.

20 Thus Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days because he was in love with her.

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

22 And so Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

23 And it came to pass in the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in unto her.

24 And Laban gave Zilpah his maid to his daughter Leah for a servant.

25 And it came to pass in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this thing that you have done to me? Did not I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?

26 Then Laban said to Jacob, It is not so done in our country, to give the younger in marriage before the elder.

27 Finish the wedding feast for this one, and then I will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me yet another seven years.

28 And Jacob did so, and finished her wedding feast; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

29 And Laban gave Bilhah his maid to Rachel his daughter to be her maid.

30 And he went in unto Rachel also, and he loved Rachel also more than Leah, and served with Laban another seven years.

31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Because the LORD has seen my affliction, now therefore my husband will love me.

33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also; so she called his name Simeon.

34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time my husband will surely love me, because I have born him three sons therefore she called his name Levi.

35 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time I will praise the LORD; therefore she called his name Judah; and then she ceased bearing.

2 And he looked, and beheld 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 large stone was upon the well's mouth.

3 And thither8033 were all3605 the flocks5739 gathered:622 and they rolled1556 853 the stone68 from4480 5921 the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 853 the sheep,6629 and put7725 853 the stone68 again upon5921 the well's875 mouth6310 in his place.4725

3 And all the flocks were gathered there; and the shepherds rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and then put the stone back in its place upon the well's mouth.

4 And Jacob3290 said559 unto them, My brethren,251 whence4480 370 be ye?859 And they said,559 Of Haran4480 2771 are we.587

4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, where do you come from? And they said, We are from Haran.

5 And he said559 unto them, Know3045 ye853 Laban3837 the son1121 of Nahor?5152 And they said,559 We know3045 him.

5 And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know him.

6 And he said559 unto them, Is he well?7965 And they said,559 He is well:7965 and, behold,2009 Rachel7354 his daughter1323 cometh935 with5973 the sheep.6629

7 And he said,559 Lo,2005 it is yet5750 high1419 day,3117 neither3808 is it time6256 that the cattle4735 should be gathered together:622 water8248 ye the sheep,6629 and go1980 and feed7462 them.

7 And Jacob said, Lo, the sun is still high, it is not yet time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go and feed them.

8 And they said,559 We cannot,3808 3201 until5704 834 all3605 the flocks5739 be gathered together,622 and till they roll1556 853 the stone68 from4480 5921 the well's875 mouth;6310 then we water8248 the sheep.6629

8 And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the shepherds roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

9 And while he yet5750 spoke1696 with5973 them, Rachel7354 came935 with5973 her father's1 sheep:6629 for3588 she1931 kept7462 them.

9 gland while he was still conversing with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess.

10 And it came to pass,1961 when834 Jacob3290 saw7200 853 Rachel7354 the daughter1323 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 and the sheep6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother,251 that Jacob3290 went near,5066 and rolled1556 853 the stone68 from4480 5921 the well's875 mouth,6310 and watered8248 853 the flock6629 of Laban3837 his mother's517 brother.251

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 drew near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

11 And Jacob3290 kissed5401 Rachel,7354 and lifted up5375 853 his voice,6963 and wept.1058

11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 And Jacob3290 told5046 Rachel7354 that3588 he1931 was her father's1 brother,251 and that3588 he1931 was Rebekah's7259 son:1121 and she ran7323 and told5046 her father.1

12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.

13 And it came to pass,1961 when Laban3837 heard8085 853 the tidings8088 of Jacob3290 his sister's269 son,1121 that he ran7323 to meet7125 him, and embraced2263 him, and kissed5401 him, and brought935 him to413 his house.1004 And he told5608 Laban3837 853 all3605 these428 things.1697

13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. And Jacob related to Laban all these things.

14 And Laban3837 said559 to him, Surely389 thou859 art my bone6106 and my flesh.1320 And he abode3427 with5973 him the space3117 of a month.2320

14 And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And t he stayed with him for a month.

15 And Laban3837 said559 unto Jacob,3290 Because3588 thou859 art my brother,251 shouldest thou therefore serve5647 me for naught?2600 tell5046 me, what4100 shall thy wages4909 be?

15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore work for me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?

16 And Laban3837 had two8147 daughters:1323 the name8034 of the elder1419 was Leah,3812 and the name8034 of the younger6996 was Rachel.7354

16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel.

17 Leah3812 was tender7390 eyed;5869 but Rachel7354 was1961 beautiful3303 8389 and well3303 favored.4758

17 And Leah had attractive eyes; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

18 And Jacob3290 loved157 853 Rachel;7354 and said,559 I will serve5647 thee seven7651 years8141 for Rachel7354 thy younger6996 daughter.1323

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.

19 And Laban3837 said,559 It is better2896 that I give5414 her to thee, than that I should give4480 5414 her to another312 man:376 abide3427 with5973 me.

19 And Laban said to him, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.

20 And Jacob3290 served5647 seven7651 years8141 for Rachel;7354 and they seemed1961 5869 unto him but a few259 days,3117 for the love160 he had to her.

20 Thus Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days because he was in love with her.

21 And Jacob3290 said559 unto413 Laban,3837 Give3051 me853 my wife,802 for3588 my days3117 are fulfilled,4390 that I may go in935 unto413 her.

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

22 And Laban3837 gathered together622 853 all3605 the men376 of the place,4725 and made6213 a feast.4960

22 And so Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

23 And it came to pass1961 in the evening,6153 that he took3947 853 Leah3812 his daughter,1323 and brought935 her to413 him; and he went in935 unto413 her.

23 And it came to pass in the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in unto her.

24 And Laban3837 gave5414 unto his daughter1323 Leah3812 853 Zilpah2153 his maid8198 for a handmaid.8198

24 And Laban gave Zilpah his maid to his daughter Leah for a servant.

25 And it came to pass,1961 that in the morning,1242 behold,2009 it1931 was Leah:3812 and he said559 to413 Laban,3837 What4100 is this2063 thou hast done6213 unto me? did not3808 I serve5647 with5973 thee for Rachel?7354 wherefore4100 then hast thou beguiled7411 me?

25 And it came to pass in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this thing that you have done to me? Did not I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?

26 And Laban3837 said,559 It must not3808 be so3651 done6213 in our country,4725 to give5414 the younger6810 before6440 the firstborn.1067

26 Then Laban said to Jacob, It is not so done in our country, to give the younger in marriage before the elder.

27 Fulfill4390 her2063 week,7620 and we will give5414 thee853 this2063 also1571 for the service5656 which834 thou shalt serve5647 with5973 me yet5750 seven7651 other312 years.8141

27 Finish the wedding feast for this one, and then I will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me yet another seven years.

28 And Jacob3290 did6213 so,3651 and fulfilled4390 her2063 week:7620 and he gave5414 him853 Rachel7354 his daughter1323 to wife802 also.

28 And Jacob did so, and finished her wedding feast; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

29 And Laban3837 gave5414 to Rachel7354 his daughter1323 853 Bilhah1090 his handmaid8198 to be her maid.8198

29 And Laban gave Bilhah his maid to Rachel his daughter to be her maid.

30 And he went in935 also1571 unto413 Rachel,7354 and he loved157 also1571 853 Rachel7354 more than Leah,4480 3812 and served5647 with5973 him yet5750 seven7651 other312 years.8141

30 And he went in unto Rachel also, and he loved Rachel also more than Leah, and served with Laban another seven years.

31 And when the LORD3068 saw7200 that3588 Leah3812 was hated,8130 he opened6605 853 her womb:7358 but Rachel7354 was barren.6135

31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

32 And Leah3812 conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son,1121 and she called7121 his name8034 Reuben:7205 for3588 she said,559 Surely3588 the LORD3068 hath looked7200 upon my affliction;6040 now6258 therefore3588 my husband376 will love157 me.

32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Because the LORD has seen my affliction, now therefore my husband will love me.

33 And she conceived2029 again,5750 and bore3205 a son;1121 and said,559 Because3588 the LORD3068 hath heard8085 that3588 I595 was hated,8130 he hath therefore given5414 me853 this2088 son also:1571 and she called7121 his name8034 Simeon.8095

33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also; so she called his name Simeon.
