Genesis 29:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

10 As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, with Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.

11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.

12 He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.

13 When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.
