Genesis 29:4-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 29

4Jacob said to them, 'My brothers, where are you from?' And they said, 'We are from Haran.' 5So he said to them, 'Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?' And they said, 'We know him.' 6And he said to them, 'Is it well with him?' And they said, 'It is well, and here is his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep.' 7Then he said, 'Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them.' 8But they said, 'We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.'
9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
King James Version

Chapter 29

4And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 5And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 6And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 8And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
9And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.

Chapter 29

4Jacob asked the men at the well, "My brothers! Where are you from?" "We’re from Haran," they answered.
5"Do you know Laban grandson of Nahor?" Jacob asked them. They answered, "We know him."
6"Is he well?" Jacob asked. "Yes," they said, "and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with his sheep."
7Then 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."
8But 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."
9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
New Living Translation

Chapter 29

4Jacob went over to the shepherds and asked, 'Where are you from, my friends?' 'We are from Haran,' they answered.
5Do you know a man there named Laban, the grandson of Nahor?' he asked. 'Yes, we do,' they replied.
6Is he doing well?' Jacob asked. 'Yes, he’s well,' they answered. 'Look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the flock now.'
7Jacob said, 'Look, it’s still broad daylight — too early to round up the animals. Why don’t you water the sheep and goats so they can get back out to pasture?'
8We can’t water the animals until all the flocks have arrived,' they replied. 'Then the shepherds move the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water all the sheep and goats.'
9Jacob was still talking with them when Rachel arrived with her father’s flock, for she was a shepherd.

They said, "It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!" 7He said, "Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep and go, pasture them." 8But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

8"We can’t," they replied, "until all the flocks are gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep."
9While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherd.
