00:01.050 --> 00:06.150
Chapter 29 Then Jacob went on his journey,
and came into the land of the people of

00:06.150 --> 00:06.630
the east.

00:06.850 --> 00:10.610
And he looked, and behold a well in the
field, and, lo, there were three flocks of

00:10.610 --> 00:11.610
sheep lying by it.

00:11.710 --> 00:15.450
For out of that well they watered the
flocks, and a great stone was upon the

00:15.450 --> 00:16.070
well's mouth.

00:16.570 --> 00:20.530
And thither were all the flocks gathered,
and they rolled the stone from the well's

00:20.530 --> 00:24.430
mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the
stone again upon the well's mouth in his

00:24.430 --> 00:24.830
place.

00:25.170 --> 00:28.570
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren,
whence be ye?

00:28.830 --> 00:30.710
And they said, Of Haran are we.

00:31.210 --> 00:34.170
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the
son of Nahal?

00:34.350 --> 00:35.970
And they said, We know him.

00:36.310 --> 00:38.110
And he said unto them, Is he well?

00:38.310 --> 00:41.790
And they said, He is well, and,
behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with

00:41.790 --> 00:42.130
the sheep.

00:42.370 --> 00:47.050
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day,
neither is it time that the cattle should

00:47.050 --> 00:47.850
be gathered together.

00:48.930 --> 00:51.370
Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.

00:51.630 --> 00:55.550
And they said, We cannot, until all the
flocks be gathered together, until they

00:55.550 --> 00:57.450
roll the stone from the well's mouth.

00:57.450 --> 00:58.930
Then we watered the sheep.

00:59.790 --> 01:03.370
And while he yet spake with them,
Rachel came with her father's sheep,

01:03.530 --> 01:04.370
for she kept them.

01:04.670 --> 01:08.310
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel
the daughter of Laban his mother's

01:08.310 --> 01:12.190
brother, and the sheep of Laban his
mother's brother, that Jacob went near,

01:12.450 --> 01:16.150
and rolled the stone from the well's
mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his

01:16.150 --> 01:16.830
mother's brother.

01:17.630 --> 01:20.750
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his
voice, and wept.

01:21.110 --> 01:24.670
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her
father's brother, and that he was

01:24.670 --> 01:25.470
Rebekah's son.

01:25.470 --> 01:27.410
And she ran and told her father.

01:28.030 --> 01:31.670
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the
tidings of Jacob his sister's son,

01:31.870 --> 01:35.750
that he ran to meet him, and embraced him,
and kissed him, and brought him to his

01:35.750 --> 01:36.070
house.

01:36.570 --> 01:38.410
And he told Laban all these things.

01:38.590 --> 01:42.950
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my
bone and my flesh.

01:43.130 --> 01:45.210
And he abode with him the space of a
month.

01:45.790 --> 01:50.250
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou
art my brother, shouldest thou therefore

01:50.250 --> 01:51.530
serve me for naught?

01:52.030 --> 01:54.150
Tell me, what shall thy wages be?

01:54.150 --> 01:55.950
And Laban had two daughters.

01:56.370 --> 01:59.430
The name of the elder was Leah,
and the name of the younger was Rachel.

02:00.010 --> 02:03.530
Leah was tender-eyed, but Rachel was
beautiful and well-favored.

02:03.950 --> 02:08.670
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said,
I will serve thee seven years for Rachel

02:08.670 --> 02:09.570
thy younger daughter.

02:09.830 --> 02:13.970
And Laban said, It is better that I give
her to thee, than that I should give her

02:13.970 --> 02:14.910
to another man.

02:15.710 --> 02:16.690
Abide with me.

02:16.950 --> 02:21.210
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel,
and they seemed unto him but a few days

02:21.210 --> 02:22.570
for the love he had to her.

02:23.130 --> 02:27.930
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my
wife, for my days are fulfilled,

02:28.370 --> 02:30.070
that I may go in unto her.

02:30.210 --> 02:33.370
And Laban gathered together all the men of
the place, and made a feast.

02:33.750 --> 02:36.830
And it came to pass in the evening,
that he took Leah his daughter,

02:36.950 --> 02:37.890
and brought her to him.

02:38.190 --> 02:39.550
And he went in unto her.

02:40.110 --> 02:43.950
And Laban gave unto his daughter,
Leah Zilpah his maid for a handmaid.

02:44.270 --> 02:47.390
And it came to pass that in the morning,
behold, it was Leah.

02:47.730 --> 02:51.130
And he said to Laban, What is this thou
hast done unto me?

02:51.130 --> 02:53.470
Did not I serve with thee for Rachel?

02:54.030 --> 02:56.550
Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

02:56.730 --> 03:01.170
And Laban said, It must not be so done in
our country, to give thee younger before

03:01.170 --> 03:01.930
the firstborn.

03:02.610 --> 03:06.410
Fulfill her week, and we will give thee
this also, for the service which thou

03:06.410 --> 03:08.510
shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

03:08.710 --> 03:10.990
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week.

03:11.370 --> 03:13.790
And he gave him Rachel his daughter to
wife also.

03:14.210 --> 03:18.190
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter
Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

03:18.830 --> 03:20.590
And he went in also unto Rachel.

03:20.970 --> 03:25.550
And he loved also Rachel more than Leah,
and served with him yet seven other years.

03:26.290 --> 03:29.450
And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated,
he opened her womb.

03:29.830 --> 03:31.010
But Rachel was barren.

03:31.430 --> 03:33.210
And Leah conceived, and bare a son.

03:33.470 --> 03:37.170
And she called his name Reuben,
for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked

03:37.170 --> 03:38.150
upon my affliction.

03:38.670 --> 03:40.590
Now therefore my husband will love me.

03:40.810 --> 03:44.830
And she conceived again, and bare a son,
and said, Because the Lord hath heard that

03:44.830 --> 03:45.450
I was hated.

03:45.450 --> 03:47.970
He hath therefore given me this son also.

03:48.270 --> 03:50.030
And she called his name Simeon.

03:50.490 --> 03:54.830
And she conceived again, and bare a son,
and said, Now this time will my husband be

03:54.830 --> 03:57.370
joined unto me, because I have borne him
three sons.

03:57.670 --> 03:59.610
Therefore was his name called Levi.

04:00.330 --> 04:05.050
And she conceived again, and bare a son,
and she said, Now will I praise the Lord.

04:05.430 --> 04:08.570
Therefore she called his name Judah,
and left Bering.
