1 Jacob se mit en marche, et s’en alla au pays des fils de l’Orient.
2 Il regarda. Et voici, il y avait un puits dans les champs; et voici, il y avait à côté trois troupeaux de brebis qui se reposaient, car c’était à ce puits qu’on abreuvait les troupeaux. Et la pierre sur l’ouverture du puits était grande.
3 Tous les troupeaux se rassemblaient là; on roulait la pierre de dessus l’ouverture du puits, on abreuvait les troupeaux, et l’on remettait la pierre à sa place sur l’ouverture du puits.
4 Jacob dit aux bergers: Mes frères, d’où êtes-vous? Ils répondirent: Nous sommes de Charan.
