Genesis 29:6-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.

7. And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed.

8. They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well's mouth, that we may water the flocks.

9. They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she fed the flock.

10. And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.

11. And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.

12. And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.
