Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
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 his place.
3. Et congregabant se illuc omnes greges, et revolvebant lapidem ab ore putei potumque dabant pecudibus: et restituebant lapidem super os putei in locum suum.
4. And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
4. Dixit ergo ad eos Iahacob, Fratres mei unde estis? Et dixerunt, Novimus.
5. And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him
5. Tunc dixit ad eos, Numquid nostis Laban filium Nachor? Et dixerunt, Novimus.
6. And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
6. Et dixit ad eos, Numquid est pax ei? Et dixerunt, Pax: et ecce Rachel filia ejus veniens cum pecudibus.
7. And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them
7. Tunc dixit, Ecce, adhuc dies magnus: non est tempus ut congregetur pecus: potum date pecudibus, et ite, pascite.
8. And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
8. Qui dixerunt, Non possumus, donec congregentur omnes greges, et revolvant lapidem ab ore putei, et potum demus pecudibus.
9. And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
9. Adhuc eo loquente cum eis, Rachel venit cum pecudibus quae erant patris sui: quia ipsa pascebat.
