Genesis 29:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ He continued, “It is still early; it is not yet the time to gather the sheep together. Give the sheep something to drink and then go and pasture them.”

⁸ They said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together. Then we will roll the stone away from the mouth of the well and have the flocks drink.”

⁹ He was still speaking with them when Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherd.
