4. And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.
5. [Jacob] said to them, Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6. He said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, He is doing well; and behold, here comes his daughter Rachel with [his] sheep!
7. He said, The sun is still high; it is a long time yet before the flocks need be gathered [in their folds]. [Why not] water the sheep and return them to their pasture?
8. But they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together; then [the shepherds] roll the stone from the well's mouth and we water the sheep.
9. While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she shepherded them.
10. When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his uncle, Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of his uncle Laban.
11. Then Jacob kissed Rachel and he wept aloud.
12. Jacob told Rachel he was her father's relative, Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
