1. Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
2. And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone.
3. And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together to roll away the stone, and after the sheep were watered, to put it on the mouth of the well again.
4. And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
