1. Mosebok 29,10
8 Men de svarte: «Vi kan ikke gjøre det før alle flokkene er samlet og steinen er rullet bort fra brønnens munn; da vil vi vanne sauene.»
9 Mens han fortsatt snakket med dem, kom Rakel med sin fars sauer, for hun var gjeter.
Da Jakob så Rakel, datteren til sin onkel Laban, og Labans sauer, gikk han bort og rullet steinen bort fra brønnens munn og vannet sin onkels sauer.
11 Jakob hilste så Rakel med et kyss og gråt åpenlyst.
12 Jakob forklarte Rakel at han var en slektning av hennes far og en sønn av Rebekka. Hun løp og informerte sin far.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
