Genesis 29:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And as he looked about, behold, there was a well in the field, [a]and lo, three flocks of sheep lay thereby (for at that well were the flocks watered) and there was a great stone upon the well’s mouth.
3 And thither were all the flocks gathered, and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
4 And Jacob said unto them, My [b]brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
