Genesis 29:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ So he asked them, “How’s he doing?”

“Very well,” they answered. “As a matter of fact, look over there! That’s his daughter Rachel, coming here with his sheep.”

⁷ “Look!” Jacob replied. “The sun^[a] is still high. It’s not yet time for the flocks to be gathered. Let’s water the sheep, then let them graze.”

⁸ But they responded, “We can’t do that until all the sheep have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the opening of the well. Only then can we water the flock.”
