Genesis 29:1-6

Jacob resumed his journey and entered the land east of Canaan. One day, Jacob came to a well out in the open country where the shepherds watered their animals. Three flocks of sheep and goats were lying near the well, which had a large, heavy stone covering the opening. Whenever all the flocks gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, water their sheep, and then roll the stone back over the top of the well. Jacob approached them and said, “Good day, friends; where are you from?” “We’re from Haran,” they answered. “Do you happen to know Laban, a grandson of Nahor?” Jacob said. “We do,” they replied. Jacob asked, “How’s he doing?” “He’s doing well,” they answered. “As a matter of fact, here comes his daughter Rachel right now with her flock.”
