Genesis 29:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ Jacob said, “But look, it is still the middle of the day. It is not time for the sheep to be gathered for the night, so give them water and let them go back into the pasture.”

⁸ But they said, “We cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered. Then we will roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep.”

⁹ While Jacob was talking with the shepherds, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, because it was her job to care for the sheep.
