When Iacob was awaked out of his slepe/ he sayde: surely the LORde is in this place/ ãd I was not aware. And he was afrayde & sayde how fearfull is this place? it is none other/ but euen the house of God and the gate of heau[~e]. And Iacob stode vp early in the mornynge and toke the stone that he had layde vnder his heade/ and pitched it vp an ende and poured oyle on the topp of it. And he called the name of the place Bethell/ for in dede the name of the citie was called Lus before tyme.
And Iacob vowed a vowe saynge: Yf God will be with me and wyll kepe me in this iourney which I goo and will geue me bread to eate and cloothes to put on/ so that I come agayne vnto my fathers house in saftie: then shall the LORde be my God/ and this stone which I haue sett vp an ende/ shalbe godes house/ And of all that thou shalt geue me/ will I geue the tenth vnto the.
Then Iacob lyfte vp his fete & w[~e]t toward the east countre. And as he loked aboute/ behold there was a well in the feld/ and .iij. flockes of shepe laye therby (for at that well were the flockes watered) & there laye a great stone at the well mouth And the maner was to brynge the flockes thyther/ & to roull the stone frõ the welles mouth and to water the shepe/ and to put the stone agayne vppon the wells mouth vnto his place.
And Iacob sayde vnto th[~e]: brethern/ wh[~e]ce be ye? and they sayde: of Haran ar we. And he sayde vnto th[~e]: knowe ye Laban the sonne of Nahor. And they sayde: we knowe him. And he sayde vnto th[~e]: is he in good health? And they sayde: he is in good health: and beholde/ his doughter Rahel cometh with y^e shepe. And he sayde: lo/ it is yet a great whyle to nyghte/ nether is it tyme y^t the catell shulde be gathered together: water the shepe and goo and fede th[~e]. And they sayde: we maye not/ vntill all y^e flockes be brought together & the stone be roulled frõ the wells mouth/ and so we water oure shepe.
Whyle he yet talked with th[~e]/ Rahel came with hir fathers shepe/ for she kepte them. As soone As Iacob sawe Rahel/ the doughter of Laban his mothers brother/ and the shepe of Laban his mothers brother/ he went and rowled the stone frõ the wells mouth/ and watered the shepe of Labã his mothers brother And Iacob kyssed Rahel/ and lyfte vp his voyce and wepte: and tolde her also y^t he was hir fathers brother and Rebeccas sonne. Th[~e] Rahel ranne and tolde hir father.
