1 Then Jacob walked on and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 And he looked and saw a well in the field, and, behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
3 And all the flocks gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth and water the sheep and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.
4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.
5 And he said unto them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and, behold, Rachel, his daughter, comes with the sheep.
