Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּishsּa֥ ya'aqo֖b ragela֑yv vayּe֖leke 'a֥retzah beney-qeֽdem׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples.

וַיִּשָּׂ֥א יַעֲקֹ֖ב רַגְלָ֑יו וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ אַ֥רְצָה בְנֵי־קֶֽדֶם׃

Edified Edition (EDE)There he saw a well in the open country, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large.

וַיַּ֞רְא וְהִנֵּ֧ה בְאֵ֣ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּה־שָׁ֞ם שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה עֶדְרֵי־צֹאן֙ רֹבְצִ֣ים עָלֶ֔יהָ כִּ֚י מִן־הַבְּאֵ֣ר הַהִ֔וא יַשְׁק֖וּ הָעֲדָרִ֑ים וְהָאֶ֥בֶן גְּדֹלָ֖ה עַל־פִּ֥י הַבְּאֵֽר׃

Edified Edition (EDE)When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well's mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.

וְנֶאֶסְפוּ־שָׁ֣מָּה כָל־הָעֲדָרִ֗ים וְגָלֲל֤וּ אֶת־הָאֶ֨בֶן֙ מֵעַל֙ פִּ֣י הַבְּאֵ֔ר וְהִשְׁק֖וּ אֶת־הַצֹּ֑אן וְהֵשִׁ֧יבוּ אֶת־הָאֶ֛בֶן עַל־פִּ֥י הַבְּאֵ֖ר לִמְקֹמָֽהּ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֤'mer lahem֙ ya'aqo֔b 'acha֖y me'a֣yin 'atּe֑m vayּo֣'mer֔u mechara֖n 'anaֽchenu׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Jacob asked the shepherds, "My brothers, where are you from?" "We're from Harran," they replied.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ יַעֲקֹ֔ב אַחַ֖י מֵאַ֣יִן אַתֶּ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ מֵחָרָ֖ן אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer lahe֔m hayeda'etּe֖m 'et-laba֣n bּen-nach֑or vayּo'mer֖u yadaֽ'enu׃

Edified Edition (EDE)He said to them, "Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?" "Yes, we know him," they answered.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֔ם הַיְדַעְתֶּ֖ם אֶת־לָבָ֣ן בֶּן־נָח֑וֹר וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ יָדָֽעְנוּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Jacob asked them, "Is he well?" "Yes, he is," they said, "and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep."

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר לָהֶ֖ם הֲשָׁל֣וֹם ל֑וֹ וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ שָׁל֔וֹם וְהִנֵּה֙ רָחֵ֣ל בִּתּ֔וֹ בָּאָ֖ה עִם־הַצֹּֽאן׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֗'mer he֥n 'od֙ hayּ֣om gּad֔ol lo'-'e֖t he'ase֣p hamּiqene֑h hashsheq֥u hatzּo֖'n ulek֥u re'ֽu׃

Edified Edition (EDE)"Look," he said, "the sun is still high; it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture."

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הֵ֥ן עוֹד֙ הַיּ֣וֹם גָּד֔וֹל לֹא־עֵ֖ת הֵאָסֵ֣ף הַמִּקְנֶ֑ה הַשְׁק֥וּ הַצֹּ֖אן וּלְכ֥וּ רְעֽוּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)"We can't," they replied, "until all the flocks are gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep."

וַיֹּאמְרוּ֮ לֹ֣א נוּכַל֒ עַ֣ד אֲשֶׁ֤ר יֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ כָּל־הָ֣עֲדָרִ֔ים וְגָֽלֲלוּ֙ אֶת־הָאֶ֔בֶן מֵעַ֖ל פִּ֣י הַבְּאֵ֑ר וְהִשְׁקִ֖ינוּ הַצֹּֽאן׃

Edified Edition (EDE)While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherd.

עוֹדֶ֖נּוּ מְדַבֵּ֣ר עִמָּ֑ם וְרָחֵ֣ל ׀ בָּ֗אָה עִם־הַצֹּאן֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְאָבִ֔יהָ כִּ֥י רֹעָ֖ה הִֽוא׃

Edified Edition (EDE)When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle's sheep.

וַיְהִ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ רָאָ֨ה יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶת־רָחֵ֗ל בַּת־לָבָן֙ אֲחִ֣י אִמּ֔וֹ וְאֶת־צֹ֥אן לָבָ֖ן אֲחִ֣י אִמּ֑וֹ וַיִּגַּ֣שׁ יַעֲקֹ֗ב וַיָּ֤גֶל אֶת־הָאֶ֨בֶן֙ מֵעַל֙ פִּ֣י הַבְּאֵ֔ר וַיַּ֕שְׁקְ אֶת־צֹ֥אן לָבָ֖ן אֲחִ֥י אִמּֽוֹ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּishshּa֥q ya'aqo֖b lerache֑l vayּishsּa֥ 'et-qol֖o vayּeֽbekּe׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.

וַיִּשַּׁ֥ק יַעֲקֹ֖ב לְרָחֵ֑ל וַיִּשָּׂ֥א אֶת־קֹל֖וֹ וַיֵּֽבְךְּ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּagּe֨d ya'aqo֜b lerache֗l kּi֣y 'achi֤y 'abi֨yha֙ h֔u veki֥y ben-ribeqa֖h h֑u vatּa֖ratz vatּagּe֥d le'abiֽyha׃

Edified Edition (EDE)He had told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and a son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father.

וַיַּגֵּ֨ד יַעֲקֹ֜ב לְרָחֵ֗ל כִּ֣י אֲחִ֤י אָבִ֨יהָ֙ ה֔וּא וְכִ֥י בֶן־רִבְקָ֖ה ה֑וּא וַתָּ֖רָץ וַתַּגֵּ֥ד לְאָבִֽיהָ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayehiy֩ kishshemo֨'a laba֜n 'et-shshe֣ma ׀ ya'aqo֣b bּen-'achot֗o vayּa֤ratz liqera'to֙ vayechabּeq-lo֙ vayenashshּeq-l֔o vayebiy'e֖hu 'el-bּeyt֑o vayesapּe֣r lelaba֔n 'e֥t kּal-hadּebari֖ym ha'eֽlּeh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.

וַיְהִי֩ כִשְׁמֹ֨עַ לָבָ֜ן אֶת־שֵׁ֣מַע ׀ יַעֲקֹ֣ב בֶּן־אֲחֹת֗וֹ וַיָּ֤רָץ לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ וַיְחַבֶּק־לוֹ֙ וַיְנַשֶּׁק־ל֔וֹ וַיְבִיאֵ֖הוּ אֶל־בֵּית֑וֹ וַיְסַפֵּ֣ר לְלָבָ֔ן אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֤'mer lo֙ laba֔n 'a֛ke 'atzemi֥y ubeshsari֖y 'a֑tּah vayּe֥shsheb 'imּ֖o cho֥deshsh yamiֽym׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Laban said to him, "You are my own flesh and blood." After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month,

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ לָבָ֔ן אַ֛ךְ עַצְמִ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֖י אָ֑תָּה וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב עִמּ֖וֹ חֹ֥דֶשׁ יָמִֽים׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Laban said to him, "Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be."

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָבָן֙ לְיַעֲקֹ֔ב הֲכִי־אָחִ֣י אַ֔תָּה וַעֲבַדְתַּ֖נִי חִנָּ֑ם הַגִּ֥ידָה לִּ֖י מַה־מַּשְׂכֻּרְתֶּֽךָ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): ulelaba֖n shshetּe֣y ban֑ot shshe֤m hagּedolah֙ le'a֔h veshshe֥m haqּetanּa֖h racheֽl׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

וּלְלָבָ֖ן שְׁתֵּ֣י בָנ֑וֹת שֵׁ֤ם הַגְּדֹלָה֙ לֵאָ֔ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַקְּטַנָּ֖ה רָחֵֽל׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): ve'eyne֥y le'a֖h rakּ֑ot verachel֙ haֽyeta֔h yepat-tּo֖'ar viypa֥t mare'eֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Leah had weak[1] eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful.

וְעֵינֵ֥י לֵאָ֖ה רַכּ֑וֹת וְרָחֵל֙ הָֽיְתָ֔ה יְפַת־תֹּ֖אַר וִיפַ֥ת מַרְאֶֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּe'eha֥b ya'aqo֖b 'et-rache֑l vayּo֗'mer 'ֽe'ebadeka֙ shshe֣ba shshani֔ym bּerache֥l bּitּeka֖ haqּetanּaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel."

וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב יַעֲקֹ֖ב אֶת־רָחֵ֑ל וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אֶֽעֱבָדְךָ֙ שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֔ים בְּרָחֵ֥ל בִּתְּךָ֖ הַקְּטַנָּֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer laba֗n t֚ob tּitּi֣y 'ota֣hּ la֔ke mitּitּi֥y 'ota֖hּ le'i֣yshsh 'ache֑r shsheba֖h 'imּadiֽy׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Laban said, "It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me."

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָבָ֗ן ט֚וֹב תִּתִּ֣י אֹתָ֣הּ לָ֔ךְ מִתִּתִּ֥י אֹתָ֖הּ לְאִ֣ישׁ אַחֵ֑ר שְׁבָ֖ה עִמָּדִֽי׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּa'abo֧d ya'aqo֛b bּerache֖l shshe֣ba shshani֑ym vayּihey֤u be'eynayv֙ kּeyami֣ym 'achadi֔ym bּe'ahabat֖o 'otaֽhּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.

וַיַּעֲבֹ֧ד יַעֲקֹ֛ב בְּרָחֵ֖ל שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיִּהְי֤וּ בְעֵינָיו֙ כְּיָמִ֣ים אֲחָדִ֔ים בְּאַהֲבָת֖וֹ אֹתָֽהּ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֨'mer ya'aqo֤b 'el-laban֙ haba֣h 'et-'ishshetּi֔y kּi֥y male'֖u yama֑y ve'ab֖o'ah 'eleֽyha׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her."

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֤ב אֶל־לָבָן֙ הָבָ֣ה אֶת־אִשְׁתִּ֔י כִּ֥י מָלְא֖וּ יָמָ֑י וְאָב֖וֹאָה אֵלֶֽיהָ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּe'eso֥p laba֛n 'et-kּal-'aneshshe֥y hamּaq֖om vayּa֥'ashs mishshetּeֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast.

וַיֶּאֱסֹ֥ף לָבָ֛ן אֶת־כָּל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י הַמָּק֖וֹם וַיַּ֥עַשׂ מִשְׁתֶּֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayehi֣y ba'e֔reb vayּiqּach֙ 'et-le'a֣h bitּ֔o vayּabe֥ 'ota֖hּ 'ela֑yv vayּabo֖ 'eleֽyha׃

Edified Edition (EDE)But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her.

וַיְהִ֣י בָעֶ֔רֶב וַיִּקַּח֙ אֶת־לֵאָ֣ה בִתּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֵ֥א אֹתָ֖הּ אֵלָ֑יו וַיָּבֹ֖א אֵלֶֽיהָ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּe֤n laban֙ la֔hּ 'et-zilepּa֖h shshipechat֑o lele'a֥h bitּ֖o shshipechaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her attendant.

Edified Edition (EDE)When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?"

וַיְהִ֣י בַבֹּ֔קֶר וְהִנֵּה־הִ֖וא לֵאָ֑ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל־לָבָ֗ן מַה־זֹּאת֙ עָשִׂ֣יתָ לִּ֔י הֲלֹ֤א בְרָחֵל֙ עָבַ֣דְתִּי עִמָּ֔ךְ וְלָ֖מָּה רִמִּיתָֽנִי׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer laba֔n lo'-ye'ashse֥h ke֖n bּimeqome֑nu late֥t hatzּe'iyra֖h lipene֥y habּekiyraֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Laban replied, "It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָבָ֔ן לֹא־יֵעָשֶׂ֥ה כֵ֖ן בִּמְקוֹמֵ֑נוּ לָתֵ֥ת הַצְּעִירָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י הַבְּכִירָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Finish this daughter's bridal week; then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work."

מַלֵּ֖א שְׁבֻ֣עַ זֹ֑את וְנִתְּנָ֨ה לְךָ֜ גַּם־אֶת־זֹ֗את בַּעֲבֹדָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲבֹ֣ד עִמָּדִ֔י ע֖וֹד שֶֽׁבַע־שָׁנִ֥ים אֲחֵרֽוֹת׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.

וַיַּ֤עַשׂ יַעֲקֹב֙ כֵּ֔ן וַיְמַלֵּ֖א שְׁבֻ֣עַ זֹ֑את וַיִּתֶּן־ל֛וֹ אֶת־רָחֵ֥ל בִּתּ֖וֹ ל֥וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Laban gave his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.

וַיִּתֵּ֤ן לָבָן֙ לְרָחֵ֣ל בִּתּ֔וֹ אֶת־בִּלְהָ֖ה שִׁפְחָת֑וֹ לָ֖הּ לְשִׁפְחָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.

וַיָּבֹא֙ גַּ֣ם אֶל־רָחֵ֔ל וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב גַּֽם־אֶת־רָחֵ֖ל מִלֵּאָ֑ה וַיַּעֲבֹ֣ד עִמּ֔וֹ ע֖וֹד שֶֽׁבַע־שָׁנִ֥ים אֲחֵרֽוֹת׃

Edified Edition (EDE)When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, He enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.

וַיַּ֤רְא יְהוָה֙ כִּֽי־שְׂנוּאָ֣ה לֵאָ֔ה וַיִּפְתַּ֖ח אֶת־רַחְמָ֑הּ וְרָחֵ֖ל עֲקָרָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben[2], for she said, "It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now."

וַתַּ֤הַר לֵאָה֙ וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֔ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ רְאוּבֵ֑ן כִּ֣י אָֽמְרָ֗ה כִּֽי־רָאָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ בְּעָנְיִ֔י כִּ֥י עַתָּ֖ה יֶאֱהָבַ֥נִי אִישִֽׁי׃

Edified Edition (EDE)She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, He gave me this one too." So she named him Simeon[3].

וַתַּ֣הַר עוֹד֮ וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּן֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־שָׁמַ֤ע יְהוָה֙ כִּֽי־שְׂנוּאָ֣ה אָנֹ֔כִי וַיִּתֶּן־לִ֖י גַּם־אֶת־זֶ֑ה וַתִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ שִׁמְעֽוֹן׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." So he was named Levi[4].

וַתַּ֣הַר עוֹד֮ וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּן֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר עַתָּ֤ה הַפַּ֨עַם֙ יִלָּוֶ֤ה אִישִׁי֙ אֵלַ֔י כִּֽי־יָלַ֥דְתִּי ל֖וֹ שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה בָנִ֑ים עַל־כֵּ֥ן קָרָֽא־שְׁמ֖וֹ לֵוִֽי׃

Edified Edition (EDE)She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "This time I will praise the Lord." So she named him Judah[5]. Finally she stopped having children.

וַתַּ֨הַר ע֜וֹד וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֗ן וַתֹּ֨אמֶר֙ הַפַּ֨עַם֙ אוֹדֶ֣ה אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה עַל־כֵּ֛ן קָרְאָ֥ה שְׁמ֖וֹ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֖ד מִלֶּֽדֶת׃
