    Genesis 29
    • 1   Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
    • 2   And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and lo, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's mouth.
    • 3   And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
    • 4   And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence [are] ye? And they said, We [are] from Haran.
    • 5   And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? and they said, We know [him].
    • 6   And he said to them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is] well: and behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
    • 7   And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be collected: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them].
    • 8   And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are collected, and [till] they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
    • 9   And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
    • 10   And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother; that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
    • 11   And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
    • 12   And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father's brother, and that he [was] Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
    • 13   And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
    • 14   And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my flesh: and he abode with him the space of a month.
    • 15   And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be]?
    • 16   And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
    • 17   Leah [was] tender-eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well-favored.
    • 18   And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
    • 19   And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
    • 20   And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
    • 21   And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife (for my days are fulfilled) that I may go in to her.
    • 22   And Laban assembled all the men of the place, and made a feast.
    • 23   And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
    • 24   And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid [for] a handmaid.
    • 25   And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me?
    • 26   And Laban said, it must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.
    • 27   Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
    • 28   And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel, his daughter, for a wife also.
    • 29   And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her maid.
    • 30   And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
    • 31   And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he made her fruitful: but Rachel [was] barren.
    • 32   And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
    • 33   And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
    • 34   And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband adhere to me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
    • 35   And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah, and left bearing.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
