Jacob Meets Rachel

29 So Jacob went on his journey ^(A)and came to the land of the people of the East.

³ So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the ^(A)people of the East would come up against them.

³³ Then all ^(A)the Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in ^(B)the Valley of Jezreel.

³⁰ Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men ^(A)of the East and all ^(B)the wisdom of Egypt.

³ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the ^[a]people of the East.

⁴ indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the ^[a]men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
