6 And he said unto them, Is he well? They said, "Hello; and behold, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.

7 And he said, Behold, the day is still many; it is not the time to gather cattle; water the sheep and go and feed them.

8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled away from the mouth of the well; then we will water the sheep.

9 And he spoke to them, how Rachel came with her father's flocks, because she was shepherding.

10 And when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob came near, and rolled away a stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.

11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 And Jacob said to Rachel, that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was the son of Rebecca. And she ran and told her father.

13 And when Laban heard of Jacob his sister's son, he ran out to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these things.

14 And Laban said unto him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And Jacob dwelt with him for a whole month.

15 И Лаван сказал Иакову: неужели ты даром будешь служить мне, потому что ты родственник? скажи мне, что заплатить тебе?

16 У Лавана же было две дочери; имя старшей: Лия; имя младшей: Рахиль.

17 Лия была слаба глазами, а Рахиль была красива станом и красива лицем.

18 Иаков полюбил Рахиль и сказал: я буду служить тебе семь лет за Рахиль, младшую дочь твою.

19 Лаван сказал: лучше отдать мне ее за тебя, нежели отдать ее за другого кого; живи у меня.
