1. Mosebok 29,3
1 Jakob fortsatte sin reise og kom til landet til de østlige folkene.
2 Han la merke til en brønn på marken, med tre flokker sauer liggende i nærheten, ettersom flokkene ble vannet fra den brønnen. Steinen som dekket brønnens munn var stor.
Når alle flokkene var samlet, ville gjeterne rulle steinen bort fra brønnens munn og vanne sauene, deretter legge steinen tilbake over brønnens munn.
4 Jakob spurte gjeterne: «Mine brødre, hvor kommer dere fra?» De svarte: «Vi er fra Haran.»
5 Han spurte dem: «Kjenner dere Laban, Nahors sønnesønn?» De svarte: «Vi kjenner ham.»
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.
