4Jacob asked the shepherds, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We’re from Harran,” they replied.

5He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?” “Yes, we know him,” they answered.

6Then Jacob asked them, “Is he well?” “Yes, he is,” they said, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”

7“Look,” he said, “the sun is still high; it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”

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.
