Genesis 29
1 And he lifted up Jacob feet his and he went [the] land of towards [the] people of [the] east.
And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
2 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.
and he looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
3 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.
(When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
4 And he said to them Jacob O brothers my from where? [are] you and they said [are] from Haran we.
And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
5 And he said to them ¿ do you know Laban [the] son of Nahor and they said we know [him].
And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
6 And he said to them ¿ [does] health [belong] to him and they said health and there! Rachel daughter his [is] coming with the sheep.
And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
7 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].
And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
8 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.
And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
9 Still [was] he speaking with them and Rachel - she came with the sheep which [belonged] to father her for [was] a shepherdess she.
He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
10 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.
and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
11 And he kissed Jacob Rachel and he lifted up voice his and he wept.
And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
12 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.
and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to her father.
13 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.
And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
14 And he said to him Laban surely [are] bone my and flesh my you and he remained with him a month of days.
and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
15 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.
And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
16 And [belonged] to Laban two daughters [the] name of the old [one] [was] Leah and [the] name of the young [one] [was] Rachel.
And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
17 And [the] eyes of Leah [were] weak and Rachel she was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
18 And he loved Jacob Rachel and he said I will serve you seven years for Rachel daughter your young.
And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
19 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.
and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; dwell with me”;
20 And he served Jacob for Rachel seven years and they were in view his like days one in love his her.
and Jacob serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
21 And he said Jacob to Laban give! wife my for they have been completed days my so I may go into her.
And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
22 And he gathered Laban all [the] people of the place and he prepared a feast.
and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
23 And it was in the evening and he took Leah daughter his and he brought her to him and he went into her.
And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
24 And he had given Laban to her Zilpah maidservant his to Leah daughter his a maidservant.
and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
25 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.
And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
26 And he said Laban not it is done thus in place our to give the young before the firstborn.
And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
27 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.
fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
28 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.
And Jacob does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
29 And he had given Laban to Rachel daughter his Bilhah maidservant his to her to [be] a maidservant.
and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
30 And he went also into Rachel and he loved also Rachel more than Leah and he served with him again seven years another.
And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet seven other years.
31 And he saw Yahweh that [was] hated Leah and he opened womb her and Rachel [was] barren.
And YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
32 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.
and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband love me.”
33 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.
And she conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls his name Simeon.
34 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.
And she conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] called his name Levi.
35 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.
And she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
