2. 2LXXκαὶ ὁρᾷ καὶ ἰδοὺ φρέαρ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ τρία ποίμνια προβάτων ἀναπαυόμενα ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ φρέατος ἐκείνου ἐπότιζον τὰ ποίμνια, λίθος δὲ ἦν μέγας ἐπὶ τῷ στόματι τοῦ φρέατος,BSBBSB: He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well.

8. 8LXXοἱ δὲ εἶπαν· οὐ δυνησόμεθα ἕως τοῦ συναχθῆναι πάντας τοὺς ποιμένας, καὶ ἀποκυλίσουσι τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος, καὶ ποτιοῦμεν τὰ πρόβατα.BSBBSB: But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well.

12. 12LXXκαὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῇ Ραχήλ, ὅτι ἀδελφὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἐστι καὶ ὅτι υἱὸς Ρεβέκκας ἐστί, καὶ δραμοῦσα ἀπήγγειλε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς κατὰ τά ρήματα ταῦτα.BSBBSB: He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.
13. 13LXXἐγένετο δέ, ὡς ἤκουσε Λάβαν τὸ ὄνομα Ἰακὼβ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ, ἔδραμεν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν ἐφίλησε καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. καὶ διηγήσατο τῷ Λάβαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.BSBBSB: When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him.

15. 15LXXΕἶπε δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακώβ· ὅτι γὰρ ἀδελφός μου εἶ, οὐ δουλεύσεις μοι δωρεάν· ἀπάγγειλόν μοι, τίς ὁ μισθός σου ἐστί;BSBBSB: Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
16. 16LXXτῷ δὲ Λάβαν ἦσαν δύο θυγατέρες, ὄνομα τῇ μείζονι Λεία, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ νεωτέρᾳ Ραχήλ.BSBBSB: Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.

35. 35LXXκαὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτι ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ εἶπε· νῦν ἔτι τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ Κυρίῳ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰούδαν. καὶ ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν.BSBBSB: And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah.
