6 Il leur dit: Est-il en bonne santé? Ils répondirent: Il est en bonne santé; et voici Rachel, sa fille, qui vient avec le troupeau.
7 Il dit: Voici, il est encore grand jour, et il n’est pas temps de rassembler les troupeaux; abreuvez les brebis, puis allez, et faites-les paître.
8 Ils répondirent: Nous ne le pouvons pas, jusqu’à ce que tous les troupeaux soient rassemblés; c’est alors qu’on roule la pierre de dessus l’ouverture du puits, et qu’on abreuve les brebis.
9 Comme il leur parlait encore, survint Rachel avec le troupeau de son père; car elle était bergère.
