And thither were all the flocks5739 gathered622: and they rolled1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth6310, and watered8248 the 6629, and 7725 the stone68 again7725 upon the well's875 mouth6310 in his place4725. And 3290 said559 unto them, My brethren251, whence370 be ye? And they said559, Of 2771 are we. And he said559 unto them, Know3045 ye 3837 the son1121 of Nahor5152? And they said559, We know3045 him. And he said559 unto them, Is he 7965? And they said559, He is 7965: and, behold, 7354 his daughter1323 cometh935 with the 6629. Is he: Heb. Is there peace to him? And he said559, Lo2005, it is yet high1419 day3117, neither is it time6256 that the cattle4735 should be gathered together622: water8248 ye the 6629, and go3212 and feed7462 them. it is: Heb. yet the day is great And they said559, We cannot3201, until all the flocks5739 be gathered together622, and till they roll1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth6310; then we water8248 the 6629. And while he yet5750 spake1696 with them, 7354 came935 with her father's1 6629: for she kept them7462. And it came to pass, when 3290 saw7200 7354 the daughter1323 of 3837 his mother's517 brother251, and the 6629 of 3837 his mother's517 brother251, that 3290 went near5066, and rolled1556 the stone68 from the well's875 mouth6310, and watered8248 the flock6629 of 3837 his mother's517 brother251. And 3290 kissed5401 7354, and lifted up5375 his voice6963, and wept1058. And 3290 told5046 7354 that he was her father's1 brother251, and that he was 's7259 son1121: and she ran7323 and told5046 her father1. And it came to pass, when 3837 heard8085 the tidings8088 of 3290 his sister's269 son1121, that he ran7323 to meet7125 him, and embraced2263 him, and kissed5401 him, and brought935 him to his house1004. And he told5608 3837 all these things1697. tidings: Heb. hearing And 3837 said559 to him, Surely389 thou art my bone6106 and my flesh1320. And he abode3427 with him the space3117 of a month2320. the space: Heb. a month of days And 3837 said559 unto 3290, Because thou art my brother251, shouldest thou therefore serve5647 me for nought2600? tell5046 me, what shall thy wages4909 be? And 3837 had two8147 daughters1323: the name8034 of the elder1419 was 3812, and the name8034 of the younger6996 was 7354. 3812 was tender7390 eyed5869; but 7354 was beautiful3303 8389 and 3303 favoured4758. And 3290 loved157 7354; and said559, I will serve5647 thee seven7651 years8141 for 7354 thy younger6996 daughter1323. And 3837 said559, It is better2896 that I give5414 her to thee, than that I should give5414 her to another312 man376: abide3427 with me. And 3290 served5647 seven7651 years8141 for 7354; and they seemed5869 unto him but a few259 days3117, for the love he had160 to her. And 3290 said559 unto 3837, Give3051 me my wife802, for my days3117 are fulfilled4390, that I may go in935 unto her. And 3837 gathered together622 all the men582 of the place4725, and made6213 a feast4960. And it came to pass in the evening6153, that he took3947 3812 his daughter1323, and brought935 her to him; and he went in935 unto her. And 3837 gave5414 unto his daughter1323 3812 Zilpah2153 his maid8198 for an handmaid8198. And it came to pass, that in the morning1242, behold, it was 3812: and he said559 to 3837, What is this thou hast done6213 unto me? did not I serve5647 with thee for 7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiled7411 me? And 3837 said559, It must not be so done6213 in our country4725, to give5414 the younger6810 before6440 the firstborn1067. country: Heb. place Fulfil4390 her2063 week7620, and we will give5414 thee this also for the service5656 which thou shalt serve5647 with me yet seven7651 other312 years8141. And 3290 did6213 so, and fulfilled4390 her week7620: and he gave5414 him 7354 his daughter1323 to wife802 also. And 3837 gave5414 to 7354 his daughter1323 Bilhah1090 his handmaid8198 to be her maid8198. And he went in935 also unto 7354, and he loved157 also 7354 more than 3812, and served5647 with him yet seven7651 other312 years8141. And when the LORD3068 saw7200 that 3812 was hated8130, he opened6605 her womb7358: but 7354 was barren6135. And 3812 conceived2029, and bare3205 a son1121, and she called7121 his name8034 7205: for3588 she said559, Surely3588 the LORD3068 hath looked7200 upon my affliction6040; now therefore3588 my husband376 will love157 me. : that is, See a son And she conceived2029 again, and bare3205 a son1121; and said559, Because the LORD3068 hath heard8085 that I was hated8130, he hath therefore given5414 me this son also: and she called7121 his name8034 8095. : that is, Hearing And she conceived again2029, and bare3205 a son1121; and said559, Now this time6471 will my husband376 be joined3867 unto me, because I have born3205 him three7969 sons1121: therefore was his name8034 called7121 3878. : that is, Joined And she conceived2029 again, and bare3205 a son1121: and she said559, Now6471 will I praise3034 the LORD3068: therefore she called7121 his name8034 3063; and left5975 bearing3205. : that is, Praise left: Heb. stood from bearing
