Genesis 29:3

WEB

There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.

KJV

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.

Commentary

And thither were all the flocks gathered,.... The three above mentioned, Gen 29:2 , and they ro lled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep; that is, when they watered the sheep, they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well in order to do it; for as yet the flocks, now lying by it, had not been watered, as appears from Gen 29:7 , and put a stone upon the well's mouth in this place; this they were wont to do every time they watered the flocks.
