1. Jacob got to his feet and set out for the land of the easterners.
2. He saw a well in the field in front of him, near which three flocks of sheep were lying down. That well was their source for water because the flocks drank from that well. A huge stone covered the well’s opening.
3. When all of the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the well’s opening, water the sheep, and return the stone to its place at the well’s opening.
4. Jacob said to them, "Where are you from, my brothers?"They said, "We’re from Haran."
5. Then he said to them, "Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?"They said, "We know him."
