BIBLE READING 10/17/13 Genesis 29:1-12 ERV Then Jacob continued his trip. He went to the country in the East. He looked and saw a well in the field. There were three flocks of sheep lying near the well, where the sheep drank water. There was a large rock covering the mouth of the well. When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the rock away from the well. Then all the sheep could drink from the water. After the sheep were full, the shepherds would put the rock back in its place. Jacob said to the shepherds there, “Brothers, where are you from?” They answered, “We are from Haran.” Then Jacob said, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” The shepherds answered, “We know him.” Then Jacob said, “How is he?” They answered, “He is well. Look, that is his daughter Rachel coming now with his sheep.” Jacob said, “Look, it is still day and long before the sun sets. It is not yet time for the animals to be gathered together for the night. So give them water and let them go back into the field.” But they said, “We cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered together. Then we will move the rock from the well, and all the sheep will drink.” While Jacob was talking with the shepherds, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. (It was her job to take care of the sheep.) Rachel was Laban’s daughter. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s mother. When Jacob saw Rachel, he went and moved the rock and gave water to the sheep. Then Jacob kissed Rachel and cried. He told her that he was from her father’s family. He told her that he was the son of Rebekah. So Rachel ran home and told her father✟✟✟
