Holman Christian Standard Bible

Jacob Meets Rachel

29 Jacob resumed his journey^[a] and went to the eastern country.^{[b](A) 2} He looked and saw a well in a field. Three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it because the sheep were watered from this well. A large stone covered the opening of the well. ³ When all the flocks^[c] were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the opening of the well and water the sheep. The stone was then placed back on the well’s opening.
