1 Then Iacob went on his iourney, & came into the lande of the people of the east. 2 And as he loked about, beholde, there was a wel in the field, and loe, three flockes of sheepe lay there by, for at that well were the flockes watered: and there was a great stone vpon the well mouth. 3 And thyther were all the flockes brought, and they roulled the stone fro the welles mouth, & watred the sheepe, & put the stone agayne vpon the welles mouth vnto his place. 4 And Iacob saide vnto them: My brethren, whence be ye? And they sayde: of Haran are we. 5 And he sayde vnto them: Knowe ye Laban the sonne of Nachor? They sayde: we knowe hym. 6 And he sayde vnto them: is he in good health? And they sayde: he is in good health, and beholde his daughter Rachel commeth with the sheepe. 7 And he sayde: loe it is yet a great whyle to nyght, neither is it tyme that the cattell should be gathered together: water ye the sheepe, and go and feede them.
