Gen 29:3 — 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.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

the flocks		"Instead of haadarim, ""the flocks,"" the Samaritan reads haroin, ""the shepherds,"" as does also the Arabic in Walton's Polyglott. This verse describes what was usually done by some mutual compact among the shepherds, and shows the purpose for which the flocks lay by the well; for the stone was not removed till all the flocks had been collected. Scott."
