KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H3290 Then Jacob H5375 went on [H8799]   H7272 his journey H3212 , and came [H8799]   H776 into the land H1121 of the people H6924 of the east.
  2 H7200 And he looked [H8799]   H875 , and behold a well H7704 in the field H7969 , and, lo, there were three H5739 flocks H6629 of sheep H7257 lying [H8802]   H875 by it; for out of that well H8248 they watered [H8686]   H5739 the flocks H1419 : and a great H68 stone H875 was upon the well's H6310 mouth.
  3 H5739 And thither were all the flocks H622 gathered [H8738]   H1556 : and they rolled [H8804]   H68 the stone H875 from the well's H6310 mouth H8248 , and watered [H8689]   H6629 the sheep H7725 , and put H68 the stone H7725 again [H8689]   H875 upon the well's H6310 mouth H4725 in his place.
  4 H3290 And Jacob H559 said [H8799]   H251 unto them, My brethren H370 , whence H559 be ye? And they said [H8799]   H2771 , Of Haran are we.
  5 H559 And he said [H8799]   H3045 unto them, Know [H8804]   H3837 ye Laban H1121 the son H5152 of Nahor H559 ? And they said [H8799]   H3045 , We know [H8804]   him .
  6 H559 And he said [H8799]   H7965 unto them, Is he well H559 ? And they said [H8799]   H7965 , He is well H7354 : and, behold, Rachel H1323 his daughter H935 cometh [H8802]   H6629 with the sheep.
  7 H559 And he said [H8799]   H2005 , Lo H1419 , it is yet high H3117 day H6256 , neither is it time H4735 that the cattle H622 should be gathered together [H8736]   H8248 : water [H8685]   H6629 ye the sheep H3212 , and go [H8798]   H7462 and feed [H8798]   them .
  8 H559 And they said [H8799]   H3201 , We cannot [H8799]   H5739 , until all the flocks H622 be gathered together [H8735]   H1556 , and till they roll [H8804]   H68 the stone H875 from the well's H6310 mouth H8248 ; then we water [H8689]   H6629 the sheep.
  9 H5750 And while he yet H1696 spake [H8764]   H7354 with them, Rachel H935 came [H8804]   H1 with her father's H6629 sheep H7462 : for she kept them [H8802]  .
  10 H3290 And it came to pass, when Jacob H7200 saw [H8804]   H7354 Rachel H1323 the daughter H3837 of Laban H517 his mother's H251 brother H6629 , and the sheep H3837 of Laban H517 his mother's H251 brother H3290 , that Jacob H5066 went near [H8799]   H1556 , and rolled [H8686]   H68 the stone H875 from the well's H6310 mouth H8248 , and watered [H8686]   H6629 the flock H3837 of Laban H517 his mother's H251 brother.
  11 H3290 And Jacob H5401 kissed [H8799]   H7354 Rachel H5375 , and lifted up [H8799]   H6963 his voice H1058 , and wept [H8799]  .
  12 H3290 And Jacob H5046 told [H8686]   H7354 Rachel H1 that he was her father's H251 brother H7259 , and that he was Rebekah's H1121 son H7323 : and she ran [H8799]   H5046 and told [H8686]   H1 her father.
  13 H3837 And it came to pass, when Laban H8085 heard [H8800]   H8088 the tidings H3290 of Jacob H269 his sister's H1121 son H7323 , that he ran [H8799]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H2263 him, and embraced [H8762]   H5401 him, and kissed [H8762]   H935 him, and brought [H8686]   H1004 him to his house H5608 . And he told [H8762]   H3837 Laban H1697 all these things.
  14 H3837 And Laban H559 said [H8799]   H389 to him, Surely H6106 thou art my bone H1320 and my flesh H3427 . And he abode [H8799]   H3117 with him the space H2320 of a month.
  15 H3837 And Laban H559 said [H8799]   H3290 unto Jacob H251 , Because thou art my brother H5647 , shouldest thou therefore serve [H8804]   H2600 me for nought H5046 ? tell [H8685]   H4909 me, what shall thy wages be ?
  16 H3837 And Laban H8147 had two H1323 daughters H8034 : the name H1419 of the elder H3812 was Leah H8034 , and the name H6996 of the younger H7354 was Rachel.
  17 H3812 Leah H7390 was tender H5869 eyed H7354 ; but Rachel H3303 was beautiful H8389   H3303 and well H4758 favoured.
  18 H3290 And Jacob H157 loved [H8799]   H7354 Rachel H559 ; and said [H8799]   H5647 , I will serve [H8799]   H7651 thee seven H8141 years H7354 for Rachel H6996 thy younger H1323 daughter.
  19 H3837 And Laban H559 said [H8799]   H2896 , It is better H5414 that I give [H8800]   H5414 her to thee, than that I should give [H8800]   H312 her to another H376 man H3427 : abide [H8798]   with me.
  20 H3290 And Jacob H5647 served [H8799]   H7651 seven H8141 years H7354 for Rachel H5869 ; and they seemed H259 unto him but a few H3117 days H160 , for the love he had to her.
  21 H3290 And Jacob H559 said [H8799]   H3837 unto Laban H3051 , Give [H8798]   H802 me my wife H3117 , for my days H4390 are fulfilled [H8804]   H935 , that I may go in [H8799]   unto her.
  22 H3837 And Laban H622 gathered together [H8799]   H582 all the men H4725 of the place H6213 , and made [H8799]   H4960 a feast.
  23 H6153 And it came to pass in the evening H3947 , that he took [H8799]   H3812 Leah H1323 his daughter H935 , and brought [H8686]   H935 her to him; and he went in [H8799]   unto her.
  24 H3837 And Laban H5414 gave [H8799]   H1323 unto his daughter H3812 Leah H2153 Zilpah H8198 his maid H8198 for an handmaid.
  25 H1242 And it came to pass, that in the morning H3812 , behold, it was Leah H559 : and he said [H8799]   H3837 to Laban H6213 , What is this thou hast done [H8804]   H5647 unto me? did not I serve [H8804]   H7354 with thee for Rachel H7411 ? wherefore then hast thou beguiled [H8765]   me?
  26 H3837 And Laban H559 said [H8799]   H6213 , It must not be so done [H8735]   H4725 in our country H5414 , to give [H8800]   H6810 the younger H6440 before H1067 the firstborn.
  27 H4390 Fulfil [H8761]   H2063 her H7620 week H5414 , and we will give [H8799]   H5656 thee this also for the service H5647 which thou shalt serve [H8799]   H7651 with me yet seven H312 other H8141 years.
  28 H3290 And Jacob H6213 did [H8799]   H4390 so, and fulfilled [H8762]   H7620 her week H5414 : and he gave [H8799]   H7354 him Rachel H1323 his daughter H802 to wife also.
  29 H3837 And Laban H5414 gave [H8799]   H7354 to Rachel H1323 his daughter H1090 Bilhah H8198 his handmaid H8198 to be her maid.
  30 H935 And he went in [H8799]   H7354 also unto Rachel H157 , and he loved [H8799]   H7354 also Rachel H3812 more than Leah H5647 , and served [H8799]   H7651 with him yet seven H312 other H8141 years.
  31 H3068 And when the LORD H7200 saw [H8799]   H3812 that Leah H8130 was hated [H8803]   H6605 , he opened [H8799]   H7358 her womb H7354 : but Rachel H6135 was barren.
  32 H3812 And Leah H2029 conceived [H8799]   H3205 , and bare [H8799]   H1121 a son H7121 , and she called [H8799]   H8034 his name H7205 Reuben H3588 : for H559 she said [H8804]   H3588 , Surely H3068 the LORD H7200 hath looked [H8804]   H6040 upon my affliction H3588 ; now therefore H376 my husband H157 will love [H8799]   me.
  33 H2029 And she conceived [H8799]   H3205 again, and bare [H8799]   H1121 a son H559 ; and said [H8799]   H3068 , Because the LORD H8085 hath heard [H8804]   H8130 that I was hated [H8803]   H5414 , he hath therefore given [H8799]   H7121 me this son also: and she called [H8799]   H8034 his name H8095 Simeon.
  34 H2029 And she conceived again [H8799]   H3205 , and bare [H8799]   H1121 a son H559 ; and said [H8799]   H6471 , Now this time H376 will my husband H3867 be joined [H8735]   H3205 unto me, because I have born [H8804]   H7969 him three H1121 sons H8034 : therefore was his name H7121 called [H8804]   H3878 Levi.
  35 H2029 And she conceived [H8799]   H3205 again, and bare [H8799]   H1121 a son H559 : and she said [H8799]   H6471 , Now H3034 will I praise [H8686]   H3068 the LORD H7121 : therefore she called [H8804]   H8034 his name H3063 Judah H5975 ; and left [H8799]   H3205 bearing [H8800]  .
ERV(i) 1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. 2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great. 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place. 4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 6 And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7 And 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. 8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep. 9 While he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them. 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father. 13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. 24 And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for an handmaid. 25 And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? 26 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife. 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid. 30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 31 And the LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me. 33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon. 34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left bearing.
