Genesis 29:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ ‘Is he well? ’ Jacob asked.

‘Yes,’ they said, ‘and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with his sheep.’

⁷ Then Jacob said, ‘Look, it is still broad daylight. It’s not time for the animals to be gathered. Water the flock, then go out and let them graze.’

⁸ But they replied, ‘We can’t until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone is rolled from the well’s opening. Then we will water the sheep.’
