|
| [1]Then JacobH3290 went onH5375 H8799his journeyH7272, and cameH3212 H8799into the landH776 of the peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. |
[1]And Jacob lifteth up his feet, and goeth towards the land of the sons of the east; |
| [2]And he lookedH7200 , H8799and behold a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, there were threeH7969 flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 lyingH7257 H8802by it; for out of that wellH875 they wateredH8248 H8686the flocksH5739: and a greatH1419 stoneH68 was upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310. |
[2]and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well. |
| [3]And thither were all the flocksH5739 gatheredH622 : H8738and they rolledH1556 H8804the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 H8689the sheepH6629, and putH7725 the stoneH68 againH7725 H8689upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310 in his placeH4725. |
[3](When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.) |
| [4]And JacobH3290 saidH559 H8799unto them, My brethrenH251, whenceH370 be ye? And they saidH559 , H8799Of Haran are weH2771. |
[4]And Jacob saith to them, `My brethren, from whence [are] ye?' and they say, `We [are] from Haran.' |
| [5]And he saidH559 H8799unto them, KnowH3045 H8804ye LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of NahorH5152? And they saidH559 , H8799We knowH3045 himH8804. |
[5]And he saith to them, `Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?' and they say, `We have known.' |
| [6]And he saidH559 H8799unto them, Is he wellH7965? And they saidH559 , H8799He is wellH7965: and, behold, RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 comethH935 H8802with the sheepH6629. |
[6]And he saith to them, `Hath he peace?' and they say, `Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.' |
| [7]And he saidH559 , H8799LoH2005, it is yet highH1419 dayH3117, neither is it timeH6256 that the cattleH4735 should be gathered togetherH622 : H8736waterH8248 H8685ye the sheepH6629, and goH3212 H8798and feedH7462 themH8798. |
[7]And he saith, `Lo, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.' |
| [8]And they saidH559 , H8799We cannotH3201 , H8799until all the flocksH5739 be gathered togetherH622 , H8735and till they rollH1556 H8804the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310; then we waterH8248 H8689the sheepH6629. |
[8]And they say, `We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.' |
| [9]And while he yetH5750 spakeH1696 H8764with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 H8804with her father'sH1 sheepH6629: for she kept themH7462.[H8802] |
[9]He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she [is] shepherdess; |
| [10]And it came to pass, when JacobH3290 sawH7200 H8804RachelH7354 the daughterH1323 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, and the sheepH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, that JacobH3290 went nearH5066 , H8799and rolledH1556 H8686the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 H8686the flockH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251. |
[10]and it cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel, daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of Laban his mother's brother. |
| [11]And JacobH3290 kissedH5401 H8799RachelH7354, and lifted upH5375 H8799his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.[H8799] |
[11]And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and weepeth, |
| [12]And JacobH3290 toldH5046 H8686RachelH7354 that he was her father'sH1 brotherH251, and that he was Rebekah'sH7259 sonH1121: and she ranH7323 H8799and toldH5046 H8686her fatherH1. |
[12]and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he [is] her father's brother, and that he [is] Rebekah's son, and she runneth and declareth to her father. |
| [13]And it came to pass, when LabanH3837 heardH8085 H8800the tidingsH8088 of JacobH3290 his sister'sH269 sonH1121, that he ranH7323 H8799to meetH7125 H8800him, and embracedH2263 H8762him, and kissedH5401 H8762him, and broughtH935 H8686him to his houseH1004. And he toldH5608 H8762LabanH3837 all these thingsH1697. |
[13]And it cometh to pass, when Laban heareth the report of Jacob his sister's son, that he runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and kisseth him, and bringeth him in unto his house; and he recounteth to Laban all these things, |
| [14]And LabanH3837 saidH559 H8799to him, SurelyH389 thou art my boneH6106 and my fleshH1320. And he abodeH3427 H8799with him the spaceH3117 of a monthH2320. |
[14]and Laban saith to him, `Only my bone and my flesh [art] thou;' and he dwelleth with him a month of days. |
| [15]And LabanH3837 saidH559 H8799unto JacobH3290, Because thou art my brotherH251, shouldest thou therefore serveH5647 H8804me for noughtH2600? tellH5046 H8685me, what shall thy wages beH4909? |
[15]And Laban saith to Jacob, `Is it because thou [art] my brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what [is] thy hire.' |
| [16]And LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323: the nameH8034 of the elderH1419 was LeahH3812, and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 was RachelH7354. |
[16]And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel, |
| [17]LeahH3812 was tenderH7390 eyedH5869; but RachelH7354 was beautifulH3303 H8389and wellH3303 favouredH4758. |
[17]and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance. |
| [18]And JacobH3290 lovedH157 H8799RachelH7354; and saidH559 , H8799I will serveH5647 H8799thee sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354 thy youngerH6996 daughterH1323. |
[18]And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, `I serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter:' |
| [19]And LabanH3837 saidH559 , H8799It is betterH2896 that I giveH5414 H8800her to thee, than that I should giveH5414 H8800her to anotherH312 manH376: abideH3427 with meH8798. |
[19]and Laban saith, `It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell with me;' |
| [20]And JacobH3290 servedH5647 H8799sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354; and they seemedH5869 unto him but a fewH259 daysH3117, for the love he had to herH160. |
[20]and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her. |
| [21]And JacobH3290 saidH559 H8799unto LabanH3837, GiveH3051 H8798me my wifeH802, for my daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390 , H8804that I may go inH935 unto herH8799. |
[21]And Jacob saith unto Laban, `Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;' |
| [22]And LabanH3837 gathered togetherH622 H8799all the menH582 of the placeH4725, and madeH6213 H8799a feastH4960. |
[22]and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet. |
| [23]And it came to pass in the eveningH6153, that he tookH3947 H8799LeahH3812 his daughterH1323, and broughtH935 H8686her to him; and he went inH935 unto herH8799. |
[23]And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her; |
| [24]And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 H8799unto his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 ZilpahH2153 his maidH8198 for an handmaidH8198. |
[24]and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant. |
| [25]And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242, behold, it was LeahH3812: and he saidH559 H8799to LabanH3837, What is this thou hast doneH6213 H8804unto me? did not I serveH5647 H8804with thee for RachelH7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiledH7411 meH8765? |
[25]And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it [is] Leah; and he saith unto Laban, `What [is] this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?' |
| [26]And LabanH3837 saidH559 , H8799It must not be so doneH6213 H8735in our countryH4725, to giveH5414 H8800the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067. |
[26]And Laban saith, `It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born; |
| [27]FulfilH4390 H8761herH2063 weekH7620, and we will giveH5414 H8799thee this also for the serviceH5656 which thou shalt serveH5647 H8799with me yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141. |
[27]fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.' |
| [28]And JacobH3290 didH6213 H8799so, and fulfilledH4390 H8762her weekH7620: and he gaveH5414 H8799him RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 to wife alsoH802. |
[28]And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife; |
| [29]And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 H8799to RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 BilhahH1090 his handmaidH8198 to be her maidH8198. |
[29]and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her. |
| [30]And he went inH935 H8799also unto RachelH7354, and he lovedH157 H8799also RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812, and servedH5647 H8799with him yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141. |
[30]And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years. |
| [31]And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 H8799that LeahH3812 was hatedH8130 , H8803he openedH6605 H8799her wombH7358: but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135. |
[31]And Jehovah seeth that Leah [is] the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel [is] barren; |
| [32]And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 , H8799and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121, and she calledH7121 H8799his nameH8034 ReubenH7205: forH3588 she saidH559 , H8804SurelyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath lookedH7200 H8804upon my afflictionH6040; now thereforeH3588 my husbandH376 will loveH157 meH8799. |
[32]and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.' |
| [33]And she conceivedH2029 H8799again, and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121; and saidH559 , H8799Because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 H8804that I was hatedH8130 , H8803he hath therefore givenH5414 H8799me this son also: and she calledH7121 H8799his nameH8034 SimeonH8095. |
[33]And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Because Jehovah hath heard that I [am] the hated one, He also giveth to me even this [one];' and she calleth his name Simeon. |
| [34]And she conceived againH2029 , H8799and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121; and saidH559 , H8799Now this timeH6471 will my husbandH376 be joinedH3867 H8735unto me, because I have bornH3205 H8804him threeH7969 sonsH1121: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 H8804LeviH3878. |
[34]And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Now [is] the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath [one] called his name Levi. |
| [35]And she conceivedH2029 H8799again, and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121: and she saidH559 , H8799NowH6471 will I praiseH3034 H8686the LORDH3068: therefore she calledH7121 H8804his nameH8034 JudahH3063; and leftH5975 H8799bearingH3205.[H8800] |
[35]And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing. |
