⁹ While he was still speaking with them, ^(A)Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess. ¹⁰ Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. ¹¹ Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud. ¹² And Jacob told Rachel that he was ^(B)her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son, ^(C)and she ran and told her father.

¹³ As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, ^(D)he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things, ¹⁴ and Laban said to him, ^(E)“Surely you are my bone and my flesh!” And he stayed with him a month.

And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of ^(S)the Righteous One, ^(T)whom you have now betrayed and murdered, ⁵³ you who received the law ^(U)as delivered by angels and ^(V)did not keep it.”
