Genesis 29

KJV

1  Then Jacob³²⁹⁰ went on his journey,^{5375 7272} and came¹⁹⁸⁰ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of the people¹¹²¹ of the east.⁶⁹²⁴

2  And he looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and behold²⁰⁰⁹ a well⁸⁷⁵ in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ there⁸⁰³³ were three⁷⁹⁶⁹ flocks⁵⁷³⁹ of sheep⁶⁶²⁹ lying⁷²⁵⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ it; for³⁵⁸⁸ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ that¹⁹³¹ well⁸⁷⁵ they watered⁸²⁴⁸ the flocks:⁵⁷³⁹ and a great¹⁴¹⁹ stone⁶⁸ was upon⁵⁹²¹ the well's⁸⁷⁵ mouth.⁶³¹⁰

3  And thither⁸⁰³³ were all³⁶⁰⁵ the flocks⁵⁷³⁹ gathered:⁶²² and they rolled^{1556 853} the stone⁶⁸ from^{4480 5921} the well's⁸⁷⁵ mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and watered^{8248 853} the sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and put^{7725 853} the stone⁶⁸ again upon⁵⁹²¹ the well's⁸⁷⁵ mouth⁶³¹⁰ in his place.⁴⁷²⁵

4  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, My brethren,²⁵¹ whence^{4480 370} be ye?⁸⁵⁹ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Of Haran^{4480 2771} are we.⁵⁸⁷

5  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Know³⁰⁴⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ Laban³⁸³⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Nahor?⁵¹⁵² And they said,⁵⁵⁹ We know³⁰⁴⁵ him.

6  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Is he well?⁷⁹⁶⁵ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ He is well:⁷⁹⁶⁵ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ his daughter¹³²³ cometh⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ the sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

7  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁵ it is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ high¹⁴¹⁹ day,³¹¹⁷ neither³⁸⁰⁸ is it time⁶²⁵⁶ that the cattle⁴⁷³⁵ should be gathered together:⁶²² water⁸²⁴⁸ ye the sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ and feed⁷⁴⁶² them.

8  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ We cannot,^{3808 3201} until^{5704 834} all³⁶⁰⁵ the flocks⁵⁷³⁹ be gathered together,⁶²² and till they roll^{1556 853} the stone⁶⁸ from^{4480 5921} the well's⁸⁷⁵ mouth;⁶³¹⁰ then we water⁸²⁴⁸ the sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

9  And while he yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ them, Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ came⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ her father's¹ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ she¹⁹³¹ kept⁷⁴⁶² them.

10  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ Jacob³²⁹⁰ saw^{7200 853} Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ the daughter¹³²³ of Laban³⁸³⁷ his mother's⁵¹⁷ brother,²⁵¹ and the sheep⁶⁶²⁹ of Laban³⁸³⁷ his mother's⁵¹⁷ brother,²⁵¹ that Jacob³²⁹⁰ went near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and rolled^{1556 853} the stone⁶⁸ from^{4480 5921} the well's⁸⁷⁵ mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and watered^{8248 853} the flock⁶⁶²⁹ of Laban³⁸³⁷ his mother's⁵¹⁷ brother.²⁵¹

11  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ Rachel,⁷³⁵⁴ and lifted up^{5375 853} his voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept.¹⁰⁵⁸

12  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ that³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was her father's¹ brother,²⁵¹ and that³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was Rebekah's⁷²⁵⁹ son:¹¹²¹ and she ran⁷³²³ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her father.¹

13  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Laban³⁸³⁷ heard^{8085 853} the tidings⁸⁰⁸⁸ of Jacob³²⁹⁰ his sister's²⁶⁹ son,¹¹²¹ that he ran⁷³²³ to meet⁷¹²⁵ him, and embraced²²⁶³ him, and kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ him, and brought⁹³⁵ him to⁴¹³ his house.¹⁰⁰⁴ And he told⁵⁶⁰⁸ Laban^{3837 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things.¹⁶⁹⁷

14  And Laban³⁸³⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ to him, Surely³⁸⁹ thou⁸⁵⁹ art my bone⁶¹⁰⁶ and my flesh.¹³²⁰ And he abode³⁴²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ him the space³¹¹⁷ of a month.²³²⁰

15  And Laban³⁸³⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jacob,³²⁹⁰ Because³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art my brother,²⁵¹ shouldest thou therefore serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ me for naught?²⁶⁰⁰ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall thy wages⁴⁹⁰⁹ be?

16  And Laban³⁸³⁷ had two⁸¹⁴⁷ daughters:¹³²³ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the elder¹⁴¹⁹ was Leah,³⁸¹² and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the younger⁶⁹⁹⁶ was Rachel.⁷³⁵⁴

17  Leah³⁸¹² was tender⁷³⁹⁰ eyed;⁵⁸⁶⁹ but Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ beautiful^{3303 8389} and well³³⁰³ favored.⁴⁷⁵⁸

18  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ loved^{157 853} Rachel;⁷³⁵⁴ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I will serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ for Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ thy younger⁶⁹⁹⁶ daughter.¹³²³

19  And Laban³⁸³⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ It is better²⁸⁹⁶ that I give⁵⁴¹⁴ her to thee, than that I should give^{4480 5414} her to another³¹² man:³⁷⁶ abide³⁴²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ me.

20  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ served⁵⁶⁴⁷ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ for Rachel;⁷³⁵⁴ and they seemed^{1961 5869} unto him but a few²⁵⁹ days,³¹¹⁷ for the love¹⁶⁰ he had to her.

21  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Laban,³⁸³⁷ Give³⁰⁵¹ me ⁸⁵³ my wife,⁸⁰² for³⁵⁸⁸ my days³¹¹⁷ are fulfilled,⁴³⁹⁰ that I may go in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her.

22  And Laban³⁸³⁷ gathered together^{622 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of the place,⁴⁷²⁵ and made⁶²¹³ a feast.⁴⁹⁶⁰

23  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the evening,⁶¹⁵³ that he took^{3947 853} Leah³⁸¹² his daughter,¹³²³ and brought⁹³⁵ her to⁴¹³ him; and he went in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her.

24  And Laban³⁸³⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ unto his daughter¹³²³ Leah^{3812 853} Zilpah²¹⁵³ his maid⁸¹⁹⁸ for a handmaid.⁸¹⁹⁸

25  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that in the morning,¹²⁴² behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it¹⁹³¹ was Leah:³⁸¹² and he said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Laban,³⁸³⁷ What⁴¹⁰⁰ is this²⁰⁶³ thou hast done⁶²¹³ unto me? did not³⁸⁰⁸ I serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee for Rachel?⁷³⁵⁴ wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ then hast thou beguiled⁷⁴¹¹ me?

26  And Laban³⁸³⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ It must not³⁸⁰⁸ be so³⁶⁵¹ done⁶²¹³ in our country,⁴⁷²⁵ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ the younger⁶⁸¹⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the firstborn.¹⁰⁶⁷

27  Fulfill⁴³⁹⁰ her²⁰⁶³ week,⁷⁶²⁰ and we will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁶³ also¹⁵⁷¹ for the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou shalt serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ me yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ other³¹² years.⁸¹⁴¹

28  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ did⁶²¹³ so,³⁶⁵¹ and fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ her²⁰⁶³ week:⁷⁶²⁰ and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him ⁸⁵³ Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ his daughter¹³²³ to wife⁸⁰² also.

29  And Laban³⁸³⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ his daughter^{1323 853} Bilhah¹⁰⁹⁰ his handmaid⁸¹⁹⁸ to be her maid.⁸¹⁹⁸

30  And he went in⁹³⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ Rachel,⁷³⁵⁴ and he loved¹⁵⁷ also^{1571 853} Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ more than Leah,^{4480 3812} and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ him yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ other³¹² years.⁸¹⁴¹

31  And when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ Leah³⁸¹² was hated,⁸¹³⁰ he opened^{6605 853} her womb:⁷³⁵⁸ but Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ was barren.⁶¹³⁵

32  And Leah³⁸¹² conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son,¹¹²¹ and she called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Reuben:⁷²⁰⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ she said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath looked⁷²⁰⁰ upon my affliction;⁶⁰⁴⁰ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore³⁵⁸⁸ my husband³⁷⁶ will love¹⁵⁷ me.

33  And she conceived²⁰²⁹ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ was hated,⁸¹³⁰ he hath therefore given⁵⁴¹⁴ me ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ son also:¹⁵⁷¹ and she called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Simeon.⁸⁰⁹⁵

34  And she conceived²⁰²⁹ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Now⁶²⁵⁸ this time⁶⁴⁷¹ will my husband³⁷⁶ be joined³⁸⁶⁷ unto⁴¹³ me, because³⁵⁸⁸ I have born³²⁰⁵ him three⁷⁹⁶⁹ sons:¹¹²¹ therefore^{5921 3651} was his name⁸⁰³⁴ called⁷¹²¹ Levi.³⁸⁷⁸

35  And she conceived²⁰²⁹ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son:¹¹²¹ and she said,⁵⁵⁹ Now⁶⁴⁷¹ will I praise^{3034 853} the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ therefore^{5921 3651} she called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and left⁵⁹⁷⁵ bearing.^{4480 3205}

1 καὶ ἐξάρας Ιακωβ τοὺς πόδας ἐπορεύθη εἰς γῆν ἀνατολῶν πρὸς Λαβαν τὸν υἱὸν Βαθουηλ τοῦ Σύρου ἀδελφὸν δὲ Ρεβεκκας μητρὸς Ιακωβ καὶ Ησαυ

2 καὶ ὁρᾷ καὶ ἰδοὺ φρέαρ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ τρία ποίμνια προβάτων ἀναπαυόμενα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ φρέατος ἐκείνου ἐπότιζον τὰ ποίμνια λίθος δὲ ἦν μέγας ἐπὶ τῷ στόματι τοῦ φρέατος

3 καὶ συνήγοντο ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ ποίμνια καὶ ἀπεκύλιον τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος καὶ ἐπότιζον τὰ πρόβατα καὶ ἀπεκαθίστων τὸν λίθον ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα τοῦ φρέατος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ

4 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ιακωβ ἀδελφοί πόθεν ἐστὲ ὑμεῖς οἱ δὲ εἶπαν ἐκ Χαρραν ἐσμέν

5 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς γινώσκετε Λαβαν τὸν υἱὸν Ναχωρ οἱ δὲ εἶπαν γινώσκομεν

6 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς ὑγιαίνει οἱ δὲ εἶπαν ὑγιαίνει καὶ ἰδοὺ Ραχηλ ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἤρχετο μετὰ τῶν προβάτων

7 καὶ εἶπεν Ιακωβ ἔτι ἐστὶν ἡμέρα πολλή οὔπω ὥρα συναχθῆναι τὰ κτήνη ποτίσαντες τὰ πρόβατα ἀπελθόντες βόσκετε

8 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν οὐ δυνησόμεθα ἕως τοῦ συναχθῆναι πάντας τοὺς ποιμένας καὶ ἀποκυλίσωσιν τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος καὶ ποτιοῦμεν τὰ πρόβατα

9 ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτοῖς καὶ Ραχηλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Λαβαν ἤρχετο μετὰ τῶν προβάτων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς αὐτὴ γὰρ ἔβοσκεν τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς

10 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς εἶδεν Ιακωβ τὴν Ραχηλ θυγατέρα Λαβαν ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ πρόβατα Λαβαν ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσελθὼν Ιακωβ ἀπεκύλισεν τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος καὶ ἐπότισεν τὰ πρόβατα Λαβαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ ἐφίλησεν Ιακωβ τὴν Ραχηλ καὶ βοήσας τῇ φωνῇ αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσεν

12 καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν τῇ Ραχηλ ὅτι ἀδελφὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἐστιν καὶ ὅτι υἱὸς Ρεβεκκας ἐστίν καὶ δραμοῦσα ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα

13 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἤκουσεν Λαβαν τὸ ὄνομα Ιακωβ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ ἔδραμεν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν ἐφίλησεν καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ διηγήσατο τῷ Λαβαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους

14 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λαβαν ἐκ τῶν ὀστῶν μου καὶ ἐκ τῆς σαρκός μου εἶ σύ καὶ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ μῆνα ἡμερῶν

15 εἶπεν δὲ Λαβαν τῷ Ιακωβ ὅτι γὰρ ἀδελφός μου εἶ οὐ δουλεύσεις μοι δωρεάν ἀπάγγειλόν μοι τίς ὁ μισθός σού ἐστιν

16 τῷ δὲ Λαβαν δύο θυγατέρες ὄνομα τῇ μείζονι Λεια καὶ ὄνομα τῇ νεωτέρᾳ Ραχηλ

17 οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ Λειας ἀσθενεῖς Ραχηλ δὲ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ὡραία τῇ ὄψει

18 ἠγάπησεν δὲ Ιακωβ τὴν Ραχηλ καὶ εἶπεν δουλεύσω σοι ἑπτὰ ἔτη περὶ Ραχηλ τῆς θυγατρός σου τῆς νεωτέρας

19 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβαν βέλτιον δοῦναί με αὐτὴν σοὶ ἢ δοῦναί με αὐτὴν ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ οἴκησον μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ

20 καὶ ἐδούλευσεν Ιακωβ περὶ Ραχηλ ἔτη ἑπτά καὶ ἦσαν ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡμέραι ὀλίγαι παρὰ τὸ ἀγαπᾶν αὐτὸν αὐτήν

21 εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ πρὸς Λαβαν ἀπόδος τὴν γυναῖκά μου πεπλήρωνται γὰρ αἱ ἡμέραι μου ὅπως εἰσέλθω πρὸς αὐτήν

22 συνήγαγεν δὲ Λαβαν πάντας τοὺς ἄνδρας τοῦ τόπου καὶ ἐποίησεν γάμον

23 καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ λαβὼν Λαβαν Λειαν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν πρὸς Ιακωβ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Ιακωβ

24 ἔδωκεν δὲ Λαβαν Λεια τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ζελφαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ αὐτῇ παιδίσκην

25 ἐγένετο δὲ πρωί καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦν Λεια εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ τῷ Λαβαν τί τοῦτο ἐποίησάς μοι οὐ περὶ Ραχηλ ἐδούλευσα παρὰ σοί καὶ ἵνα τί παρελογίσω με

26 εἶπεν δὲ Λαβαν οὐκ ἔστιν οὕτως ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἡμῶν δοῦναι τὴν νεωτέραν πρὶν ἢ τὴν πρεσβυτέραν

27 συντέλεσον οὖν τὰ ἕβδομα ταύτης καὶ δώσω σοι καὶ ταύτην ἀντὶ τῆς ἐργασίας ἧς ἐργᾷ παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ ἔτι ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἕτερα

28 ἐποίησεν δὲ Ιακωβ οὕτως καὶ ἀνεπλήρωσεν τὰ ἕβδομα ταύτης καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Λαβαν Ραχηλ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ γυναῖκα

29 ἔδωκεν δὲ Λαβαν Ραχηλ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ Βαλλαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ αὐτῇ παιδίσκην

30 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Ραχηλ ἠγάπησεν δὲ Ραχηλ μᾶλλον ἢ Λειαν καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἕτερα

31 ἰδὼν δὲ κύριος ὅτι μισεῖται Λεια ἤνοιξεν τὴν μήτραν αὐτῆς Ραχηλ δὲ ἦν στεῖρα

32 καὶ συνέλαβεν Λεια καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν τῷ Ιακωβ ἐκάλεσεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ρουβην λέγουσα διότι εἶδέν μου κύριος τὴν ταπείνωσιν νῦν με ἀγαπήσει ὁ ἀνήρ μου

33 καὶ συνέλαβεν πάλιν Λεια καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ιακωβ καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἤκουσεν κύριος ὅτι μισοῦμαι καὶ προσέδωκέν μοι καὶ τοῦτον ἐκάλεσεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Συμεων

34 καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ πρὸς ἐμοῦ ἔσται ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἔτεκον γὰρ αὐτῷ τρεῖς υἱούς διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Λευι

35 καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτι ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ εἶπεν νῦν ἔτι τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαι κυρίῳ διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιουδα καὶ ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν

1 Profectus ergo Jacob venit in terram orientalem.

2 Et vidit puteum in agro, tres quoque greges ovium accubantes juxta eum: nam ex illo adaquabantur pecora, et os ejus grandi lapide claudebatur.

3 Morisque erat ut cunctis ovibus congregatis devolverent lapidem, et refectis gregibus rursum super os putei ponerent.

4 Dixitque ad pastores: Fratres, unde estis? Qui responderunt: De Haran.

5 Quos interrogans, Numquid, ait, nostis Laban filium Nachor? Dixerunt: Novimus.

6 Sanusne est? inquit. Valet, inquiunt: et ecce Rachel filia ejus venit cum grege suo.

7 Dixitque Jacob: Adhuc multum diei superest, nec est tempus ut reducantur ad caulas greges: date ante potum ovibus, et sic eas ad pastum reducite.

8 Qui responderunt: Non possumus, donec omnia pecora congregentur, et amoveamus lapidem de ore putei, ut adaquemus greges.

9 Adhuc loquebantur, et ecce Rachel veniebat cum ovibus patris sui: nam gregem ipsa pascebat.

10 Quam cum vidisset Jacob, et sciret consobrinam suam, ovesque Laban avunculi sui, amovit lapidem quo puteus claudebatur.

11 Et adaquato grege, osculatus est eam: et elevata voce flevit,

12 et indicavit ei quod frater esset patris sui, et filius Rebeccæ: at illa festinans nuntiavit patri suo.

13 Qui cum audisset venisse Jacob filium sororis suæ, cucurrit obviam ei: complexusque eum, et in oscula ruens, duxit in domum suam. Auditis autem causis itineris,

14 respondit: Os meum es, et caro mea. Et postquam impleti sunt dies mensis unius,

15 dixit ei: Num quia frater meus es, gratis servies mihi? dic quid mercedis accipias.

16 Habebat vero duas filias: nomen majoris Lia, minor vero appellabatur Rachel.

17 Sed Lia lippis erat oculis: Rachel decora facie, et venusto aspectu.

18 Quam diligens Jacob, ait: Serviam tibi pro Rachel filia tua minore, septem annis.

19 Respondit Laban: Melius est ut tibi eam dem quam alteri viro: mane apud me.

20 Servivit ergo Jacob pro Rachel septem annis: et videbantur illi pauci dies præ amoris magnitudine.

21 Dixitque ad Laban: Da mihi uxorem meam: quia jam tempus impletum est, ut ingrediar ad illam.

22 Qui vocatis multis amicorum turbis ad convivium, fecit nuptias.

23 Et vespere Liam filiam suam introduxit ad eum,

24 dans ancillam filiæ, Zelpham nomine. Ad quam cum ex more Jacob fuisset ingressus, facto mane vidit Liam:

25 et dixit ad socerum suum: Quid est quod facere voluisti? nonne pro Rachel servivi tibi? quare imposuisti mihi?

26 Respondit Laban: Non est in loco nostro consuetudinis, ut minores ante tradamus ad nuptias.

27 Imple hebdomadam dierum hujus copulæ: et hanc quoque dabo tibi pro opere quo serviturus es mihi septem annis aliis.

28 Acquievit placito: et hebdomada transacta, Rachel duxit uxorem:

29 cui pater servam Balam tradiderat.

30 Tandemque potitus optatis nuptiis, amorem sequentis priori prætulit, serviens apud eum septem annis aliis.

31 Videns autem Dominus quod despiceret Liam, aperuit vulvam ejus, sorore sterili permanente.

32 Quæ conceptum genuit filium, vocavitque nomen ejus Ruben, dicens: Vidit Dominus humilitatem meam: nunc amabit me vir meus.

33 Rursumque concepit et peperit filium, et ait: Quoniam audivit me Dominus haberi contemptui, dedit etiam istum mihi; vocavitque nomen ejus Simeon.

34 Concepitque tertio, et genuit alium filium: dixitque: Nunc quoque copulabitur mihi maritus meus: eo quod pepererim ei tres filios: et idcirco appellavit nomen ejus Levi.

35 Quarto concepit, et peperit filium, et ait: Modo confitebor Domino, et ob hoc vocavit eum Judam: cessavitque parere.
