¹ 雅各起行，到了东方人之地，

² 看见田间有一口井，有三群羊卧在井旁；因为人饮羊群都是用那井里的水。井口上的石头是大的。

³ 常有羊群在那里聚集，牧人把石头转离井口饮羊，随後又把石头放在井口的原处。

⁴ 雅各对牧人说：弟兄们，你们是那里来的？他们说：我们是哈兰来的。

⁵ 他问他们说：拿鹤的孙子拉班，你们认识麽？他们说：我们认识。

⁶ 雅各说：他平安麽？他们说：平安。看哪，他女儿拉结领着羊来了。

⁷ 雅各说：日头还高，不是羊群聚集的时候，你们不如饮羊，再去放一放。

⁸ 他们说：我们不能，必等羊群聚齐，人把石头转离井口才可饮羊。

⁹ 雅各正和他们说话的时候，拉结领着他父亲的羊来了，因为那些羊是他牧放的。

¹⁰ 雅各看见母舅拉班的女儿拉结和母舅拉班的羊群，就上前把石头转离井口，饮他母舅拉班的羊群。

¹¹ 雅各与拉结亲嘴，就放声而哭。

¹² 雅各告诉拉结，自己是他父亲的外甥，是利百加的儿子，拉结就跑去告诉他父亲。

¹³ 拉班听见外甥雅各的信息，就跑去迎接，抱着他，与他亲嘴，领他到自己的家。雅各将一切的情由告诉拉班。

¹⁴ 拉班对他说：你实在是我的骨肉。雅各就和他同住了一个月。

¹⁵ 拉班对雅各说：你虽是我的骨肉(原文作弟兄)，岂可白白地服事我？请告诉我，你要甚麽为工价？

¹⁶ 拉班有两个女儿，大的名叫利亚，小的名叫拉结。

¹⁷ 利亚的眼睛没有神气，拉结却生得美貌俊秀。

¹⁸ 雅各爱拉结，就说：我愿为你小女儿拉结服事你七年。

¹⁹ 拉班说：我把他给你，胜似给别人，你与我同住罢！

²⁰ 雅各就为拉结服事了七年；他因为深爱拉结，就看这七年如同几天。

²¹ 雅各对拉班说：日期已经满了，求你把我的妻子给我，我好与他同房。

²² 拉班就摆设筵席，请齐了那地方的众人。

²³ 到晚上，拉班将女儿利亚送来给雅各，雅各就与他同房。

²⁴ 拉班又将婢女悉帕给女儿利亚作使女。

²⁵ 到了早晨，雅各一看是利亚，就对拉班说：你向我做的是甚麽事呢？我服事你，不是为拉结麽？你为甚麽欺哄我呢？

²⁶ 拉班说：大女儿还没有给人，先把小女儿给人，在我们这地方没有这规矩。

²⁷ 你为这个满了七日，我就把那个也给你，你再为他服事我七年。

²⁸ 雅各就如此行。满了利亚的七日，拉班便将女儿拉结给雅各为妻。

²⁹ 拉班又将婢女辟拉给女儿拉结作使女。

³⁰ 雅各也与拉结同房，并且爱拉结胜似爱利亚，於是又服事了拉班七年。

³¹ 耶和华见利亚失宠(原文作被恨；下同)，就使他生育，拉结却不生育。

³² 利亚怀孕生子，就给他起名叫流便(就是有儿子的意思)，因而说：耶和华看见我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必爱我。

³³ 他又怀孕生子，就说：耶和华因为听见我失宠，所以又赐给我这个儿子，於是给他起名叫西缅(就是听见的意思)。

³⁴ 他又怀孕生子，起名叫利未(就是联合的意思)，说：我给丈夫生了三个儿子，他必与我联合。

³⁵ 他又怀孕生子，说：这回我要赞美耶和华，因此给他起名叫犹大(就是赞美的意思)。这才停了生育。
