29:1 Then Jacob 3290 went on 5375 8799 his journey 7272, and came 3212 8799 into the land 776 of the people 1121 of the east 6924.(went…: Heb. lift up his feet)(people: Heb. children)

29:2 And he looked 7200 8799, and behold a well 875 in the field 7704, and, lo, there [were] three 7969 flocks 5739 of sheep 6629 lying 7257 8802 by it; for out of that well 875 they watered 8248 8686 the flocks 5739: and a great 1419 stone 68 [was] upon the well's 875 mouth 6310.

29:3 And thither were all the flocks 5739 gathered 622 8738: and they rolled 1556 8804 the stone 68 from the well's 875 mouth 6310, and watered 8248 8689 the sheep 6629, and put 7725 0 the stone 68 again 7725 8689 upon the well's 875 mouth 6310 in his place 4725.

29:4 And Jacob 3290 said 559 8799 unto them, My brethren 251, whence 370 [be] ye? And they said 559 8799, Of Haran 2771 [are] we.

29:5 And he said 559 8799 unto them, Know 3045 8804 ye Laban 3837 the son 1121 of Nahor 5152? And they said 559 8799, We know 3045 8804 [him].

29:6 And he said 559 8799 unto them, [Is] he well 7965? And they said 559 8799, [He is] well 7965: and, behold, Rachel 7354 his daughter 1323 cometh 935 8802 with the sheep 6629.(Is he…: Heb. Is there peace to him?)

29:7 And he said 559 8799, Lo 2005, [it is] yet high 1419 day 3117, neither [is it] time 6256 that the cattle 4735 should be gathered together 622 8736: water 8248 8685 ye the sheep 6629, and go 3212 8798 [and] feed 7462 8798 [them].(it is…: Heb. yet the day is great)

29:8 And they said 559 8799, We cannot 3201 8799, until all the flocks 5739 be gathered together 622 8735, and [till] they roll 1556 8804 the stone 68 from the well's 875 mouth 6310; then we water 8248 8689 the sheep 6629.

29:9 And while he yet 5750 spake 1696 8764 with them, Rachel 7354 came 935 8804 with her father's 1 sheep 6629: for she kept them 7462 8802.

29:10 And it came to pass, when Jacob 3290 saw 7200 8804 Rachel 7354 the daughter 1323 of Laban 3837 his mother's 517 brother 251, and the sheep 6629 of Laban 3837 his mother's 517 brother 251, that Jacob 3290 went near 5066 8799, and rolled 1556 8686 the stone 68 from the well's 875 mouth 6310, and watered 8248 8686 the flock 6629 of Laban 3837 his mother's 517 brother 251.

29:11 And Jacob 3290 kissed 5401 8799 Rachel 7354, and lifted up 5375 8799 his voice 6963, and wept 1058 8799.

29:12 And Jacob 3290 told 5046 8686 Rachel 7354 that he [was] her father's 1 brother 251, and that he [was] Rebekah's 7259 son 1121: and she ran 7323 8799 and told 5046 8686 her father 1.

29:13 And it came to pass, when Laban 3837 heard 8085 8800 the tidings 8088 of Jacob 3290 his sister's 269 son 1121, that he ran 7323 8799 to meet 7125 8800 him, and embraced 2263 8762 him, and kissed 5401 8762 him, and brought 935 8686 him to his house 1004. And he told 5608 8762 Laban 3837 all these things 1697.(tidings: Heb. hearing)

29:14 And Laban 3837 said 559 8799 to him, Surely 389 thou [art] my bone 6106 and my flesh 1320. And he abode 3427 8799 with him the space 3117 of a month 2320.(the space…: Heb. a month of days)

29:15 And Laban 3837 said 559 8799 unto Jacob 3290, Because thou [art] my brother 251, shouldest thou therefore serve 5647 8804 me for nought 2600? tell 5046 8685 me, what [shall] thy wages 4909 [be]?

29:16 And Laban 3837 had two 8147 daughters 1323: the name 8034 of the elder 1419 [was] Leah 3812, and the name 8034 of the younger 6996 [was] Rachel 7354.

29:17 Leah 3812 [was] tender 7390 eyed 5869; but Rachel 7354 was beautiful 3303 8389 and well 3303 favoured 4758.

29:18 And Jacob 3290 loved 157 8799 Rachel 7354; and said 559 8799, I will serve 5647 8799 thee seven 7651 years 8141 for Rachel 7354 thy younger 6996 daughter 1323.

29:19 And Laban 3837 said 559 8799, [It is] better 2896 that I give 5414 8800 her to thee, than that I should give 5414 8800 her to another 312 man 376: abide 3427 8798 with me.

29:20 And Jacob 3290 served 5647 8799 seven 7651 years 8141 for Rachel 7354; and they seemed 5869 unto him [but] a few 259 days 3117, for the love he had 160 to her.

29:21 And Jacob 3290 said 559 8799 unto Laban 3837, Give 3051 8798 [me] my wife 802, for my days 3117 are fulfilled 4390 8804, that I may go in 935 8799 unto her.

29:22 And Laban 3837 gathered together 622 8799 all the men 582 of the place 4725, and made 6213 8799 a feast 4960.

29:23 And it came to pass in the evening 6153, that he took 3947 8799 Leah 3812 his daughter 1323, and brought 935 8686 her to him; and he went in 935 8799 unto her.

29:24 And Laban 3837 gave 5414 8799 unto his daughter 1323 Leah 3812 Zilpah 2153 his maid 8198 [for] an handmaid 8198.

29:25 And it came to pass, that in the morning 1242, behold, it [was] Leah 3812: and he said 559 8799 to Laban 3837, What [is] this thou hast done 6213 8804 unto me? did not I serve 5647 8804 with thee for Rachel 7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiled 7411 8765 me?

29:26 And Laban 3837 said 559 8799, It must not be so done 6213 8735 in our country 4725, to give 5414 8800 the younger 6810 before 6440 the firstborn 1067.(country: Heb. place)

29:27 Fulfil 4390 8761 her 2063 week 7620, and we will give 5414 8799 thee this also for the service 5656 which thou shalt serve 5647 8799 with me yet seven 7651 other 312 years 8141.

29:28 And Jacob 3290 did 6213 8799 so, and fulfilled 4390 8762 her week 7620: and he gave 5414 8799 him Rachel 7354 his daughter 1323 to wife 802 also.

29:29 And Laban 3837 gave 5414 8799 to Rachel 7354 his daughter 1323 Bilhah 1090 his handmaid 8198 to be her maid 8198.

29:30 And he went in 935 8799 also unto Rachel 7354, and he loved 157 8799 also Rachel 7354 more than Leah 3812, and served 5647 8799 with him yet seven 7651 other 312 years 8141.

29:31 And when the LORD 3068 saw 7200 8799 that Leah 3812 [was] hated 8130 8803, he opened 6605 8799 her womb 7358: but Rachel 7354 [was] barren 6135.

29:32 And Leah 3812 conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121, and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Reuben 7205: for 3588 she said 559 8804, Surely 3588 the LORD 3068 hath looked 7200 8804 upon my affliction 6040; now therefore 3588 my husband 376 will love 157 8799 me.(Reuben: that is, See a son)

29:33 And she conceived 2029 8799 again, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121; and said 559 8799, Because the LORD 3068 hath heard 8085 8804 that I [was] hated 8130 8803, he hath therefore given 5414 8799 me this [son] also: and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Simeon 8095.(Simeon: that is, Hearing)

29:34 And she conceived again 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121; and said 559 8799, Now this time 6471 will my husband 376 be joined 3867 8735 unto me, because I have born 3205 8804 him three 7969 sons 1121: therefore was his name 8034 called 7121 8804 Levi 3878.(Levi: that is, Joined)

29:35 And she conceived 2029 8799 again, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121: and she said 559 8799, Now 6471 will I praise 3034 8686 the LORD 3068: therefore she called 7121 8804 his name 8034 Judah 3063; and left 5975 8799 bearing 3205 8800.(Judah: that is, Praise)(left…: Heb. stood from bearing)
