Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.
And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.
