¹ 雅各起行，到了東方人之地，

² 看見田間有一口井，有三群羊臥在井旁；因為人飲羊群都是用那井裡的水。井口上的石頭是大的。

³ 常有羊群在那裡聚集，牧人把石頭轉離井口飲羊，隨後又把石頭放在井口的原處。

⁴ 雅各對牧人說：弟兄們，你們是那裡來的？他們說：我們是哈蘭來的。

⁵ 他問他們說：拿鶴的孫子拉班，你們認識麼？他們說：我們認識。

⁶ 雅各說：他平安麼？他們說：平安。看哪，他女兒拉結領著羊來了。

⁷ 雅各說：日頭還高，不是羊群聚集的時候，你們不如飲羊，再去放一放。

⁸ 他們說：我們不能，必等羊群聚齊，人把石頭轉離井口才可飲羊。

⁹ 雅各正和他們說話的時候，拉結領著他父親的羊來了，因為那些羊是他牧放的。

¹⁰ 雅各看見母舅拉班的女兒拉結和母舅拉班的羊群，就上前把石頭轉離井口，飲他母舅拉班的羊群。

¹¹ 雅各與拉結親嘴，就放聲而哭。

¹² 雅各告訴拉結，自己是他父親的外甥，是利百加的兒子，拉結就跑去告訴他父親。

¹³ 拉班聽見外甥雅各的信息，就跑去迎接，抱著他，與他親嘴，領他到自己的家。雅各將一切的情由告訴拉班。

¹⁴ 拉班對他說：你實在是我的骨肉。雅各就和他同住了一個月。

¹⁵ 拉班對雅各說：你雖是我的骨肉(原文作弟兄)，豈可白白地服事我？請告訴我，你要甚麼為工價？

¹⁶ 拉班有兩個女兒，大的名叫利亞，小的名叫拉結。

¹⁷ 利亞的眼睛沒有神氣，拉結卻生得美貌俊秀。

¹⁸ 雅各愛拉結，就說：我願為你小女兒拉結服事你七年。

¹⁹ 拉班說：我把他給你，勝似給別人，你與我同住罷！

²⁰ 雅各就為拉結服事了七年；他因為深愛拉結，就看這七年如同幾天。

²¹ 雅各對拉班說：日期已經滿了，求你把我的妻子給我，我好與他同房。

²² 拉班就擺設筵席，請齊了那地方的眾人。

²³ 到晚上，拉班將女兒利亞送來給雅各，雅各就與他同房。

²⁴ 拉班又將婢女悉帕給女兒利亞作使女。

²⁵ 到了早晨，雅各一看是利亞，就對拉班說：你向我做的是甚麼事呢？我服事你，不是為拉結麼？你為甚麼欺哄我呢？

²⁶ 拉班說：大女兒還沒有給人，先把小女兒給人，在我們這地方沒有這規矩。

²⁷ 你為這個滿了七日，我就把那個也給你，你再為他服事我七年。

²⁸ 雅各就如此行。滿了利亞的七日，拉班便將女兒拉結給雅各為妻。

²⁹ 拉班又將婢女辟拉給女兒拉結作使女。

³⁰ 雅各也與拉結同房，並且愛拉結勝似愛利亞，於是又服事了拉班七年。

³¹ 耶和華見利亞失寵(原文作被恨；下同)，就使他生育，拉結卻不生育。

³² 利亞懷孕生子，就給他起名叫流便(就是有兒子的意思)，因而說：耶和華看見我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必愛我。

³³ 他又懷孕生子，就說：耶和華因為聽見我失寵，所以又賜給我這個兒子，於是給他起名叫西緬(就是聽見的意思)。

³⁴ 他又懷孕生子，起名叫利未(就是聯合的意思)，說：我給丈夫生了三個兒子，他必與我聯合。

³⁵ 他又懷孕生子，說：這回我要讚美耶和華，因此給他起名叫猶大(就是讚美的意思)。這才停了生育。
