Christian Standard Bible

Jacob Meets Rachel

29 Jacob resumed his journey^[a] and went to the eastern country.^{[b](A) 2} He looked and saw a well in a field. Three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it because the sheep were watered from this well. But a large stone covered the opening of the well. ³ The shepherds would roll the stone from the opening of the well and water the sheep when all the flocks^[c] were gathered there. Then they would return the stone to its place over the well’s opening.
