Genesis 29 - Interlinear Bible
Jacob Meets Rachel
2
He looked, and saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that well they watered the flocks. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large.

3
When all the flocks were gathered there, they would then roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well.

6
And he said to them, "Is it well with him?" And they said, "It is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep."
7
He said, "Behold, it is still high day ; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
8
But they said, "We cannot *, until * all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well ; then we water the sheep."

9
While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
10
When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

12
Jacob told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and that he was Rebekah's son, and she ran and told her father.
13
So when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things.

15
Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing ? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"
16
Now Laban had two daughters ; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
18
Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, " I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."
19
Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man ; stay with me."
20
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed * to him but a few days because of his love for her.
Laban's Treachery
25
So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah ! And he said to Laban, " What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?"
!'b'l -l,a r,ma{Y;w h'ael awih -heNih.w r,q{B;b yih.y;w ? yiT.d;b'[ lex'r.b a{l]h yiL 'tyif'[ ta{Z -h;m ? yin'tyiMir h'M'l.w .$'Mi[
26
But Laban said, "It is not the practice * in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn.
27
"Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years."

30
So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.

Leah conceived and bore a son and named * him Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD has seen my affliction ; surely now my husband will love me."

33
Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, " Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named * him Simeon.

She conceived again and bore a son and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore * he was named * Levi.
