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."
6 He said to them, "Is he well?"They said, "He’s fine. In fact, this is his daughter Rachel now, coming with the flock."
7 He said to them, "It’s now only the middle of the day. It’s not time yet to gather the animals. Water the flock, and then go, put them out to pasture."
8 They said to him, "We can’t until all the herds are gathered, and then we roll the stone away from the well’s opening and water the flock."
9 While he was still talking to them, Rachel came with her father’s flock since she was its shepherd.
