1 Then Jacob went on his journey till he came to the land of the children of the East.
And he lifted up Jacob feet his and he went [the] land of towards [the] people of [the] east.
2 And there he saw a water-hole in a field, and by the side of it three flocks of sheep, for there they got water for the sheep: and on the mouth of the water-hole there was a great stone.
And he saw and there! a well [was] in the field and there! there three flocks of sheep [were] lying down at it for from the well that people watered the flocks and the stone [was] large over [the] mouth of the well.
3 And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.
And they were gathered there towards all the flocks and they rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and they watered the sheep and they put back the stone over [the] mouth of the well to place its.
4 Then Jacob said to the herdmen, My brothers, where do you come from? And they said, From Haran.
And he said to them Jacob O brothers my from where? [are] you and they said [are] from Haran we.
5 And he said to them, Have you any knowledge of Laban, the son of Nahor? And they said, We have.
And 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 he well? And they said, He is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.
And he said to them ¿ [does] health [belong] to him and they said health and there! Rachel daughter his [is] coming with the sheep.
7 Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.
And he said here! still the day [is] great not [the] time of [the] being gathered of the livestock water the sheep and go pasture [them].
8 And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.
And they said not we are able until that they will be gathered all the flocks and people will roll the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and we will water the sheep.
9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.
Still [was] he speaking with them and Rachel - she came with the sheep which [belonged] to father her for [was] a shepherdess she.
10 Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.
And it was just as he saw Jacob Rachel [the] daughter of Laban [the] brother of mother his and [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his and he drew near Jacob and he rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and he watered [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his.
11 And weeping for joy, Jacob gave Rachel a kiss.
And he kissed Jacob Rachel and he lifted up voice his and he wept.
12 And Rachel, hearing from Jacob that he was her father's relation and that he was the son of Rebekah, went running to give her father news of it.
And he told Jacob to Rachel that [was] [the] relative of father her he and that [was] [the] son of Rebekah he and she ran and she told to father her.
13 And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.
And it was when heard Laban [the] report of - Jacob [the] son of sister his and he ran to meet him and he embraced him and he kissed him and he brought him to house his and he recounted to Laban all the things these.
14 And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.
And he said to him Laban surely [are] bone my and flesh my you and he remained with him a month of days.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?
And he said Laban to Jacob ¿ for relative my [are] you and you will serve me for nothing tell! to me what? [is] wage[s] your.
16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
And [belonged] to Laban two daughters [the] name of the old [one] [was] Leah and [the] name of the young [one] [was] Rachel.
17 And Leah's eyes were clouded, but Rachel was fair in face and form.
And [the] eyes of Leah [were] weak and Rachel she was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
18 And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.
And he loved Jacob Rachel and he said I will serve you seven years for Rachel daughter your young.
19 And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.
And he said Laban ([is] good *LB(ah)*) to give I her to you more than to give I her to a man another remain! with me.
20 And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.
And he served Jacob for Rachel seven years and they were in view his like days one in love his her.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.
And he said Jacob to Laban give! wife my for they have been completed days my so I may go into her.
22 And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.
And he gathered Laban all [the] people of the place and he prepared a feast.
23 And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.
And it was in the evening and he took Leah daughter his and he brought her to him and he went into her.
24 And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.
And he had given Laban to her Zilpah maidservant his to Leah daughter his a maidservant.
25 And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?
And it was in the morning and there! she [was] Leah and he said to Laban what? this have you done to me ¿ not for Rachel have I served with you and why? have you deceived me.
26 And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.
And he said Laban not it is done thus in place our to give the young before the firstborn.
27 Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.
Complete [the] week of this [one] so let us give to you also this [one] for [the] service which you will serve with me again seven years another.
28 And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.
And he did Jacob thus and he completed [the] week of this [one] and he gave to him Rachel daughter his of him to a wife.
29 And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.
And he had given Laban to Rachel daughter his Bilhah maidservant his to her to [be] a maidservant.
30 Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.
And he went also into Rachel and he loved also Rachel more than Leah and he served with him again seven years another.
31 Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.
And he saw Yahweh that [was] hated Leah and he opened womb her and Rachel [was] barren.
32 And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.
And she conceived Leah and she bore a son and she called name his Reuben for she said that he has looked Yahweh on affliction my for now he will love me husband my.
33 Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.
And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said that he has heard Yahweh that [am] hated I and he has given to me also this [one] and she called name his Simeon.
34 And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.
And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said now this time he will join himself husband my to me for I have borne to him three sons there-fore he called name his Levi.
35 And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.
And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said this time I will praise Yahweh there-fore she called name his Judah and she stopped from bearing children.
