Genesis 29:6-8

The Voice

Jacob: ⁶ Is he well?

Shepherds: Yes, he is. Look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep right now.

Jacob: ⁷ Look, it’s still broad daylight, too early to gather the livestock together for the evening. Why don’t you water the sheep and take them out to graze in the pasture?

Shepherds: ⁸ We can’t—not until all of the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well. Then we water the sheep.
