Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר
and=he/it_said
Alternate translation: “Then Jacob said to them,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הֵ֥ן עוֹד֙ הַיּ֣וֹם גָּד֔וֹל
if again/more the=day big/great
This is an idiom that means there are still many more hours of daytime left. Consider whether your language has an idiom for this. Alternate translation: “Look, it is still the middle of the day” or “Look, the sun is still high in the sky” or “There is still a lot of daylight left”
לֹא עֵ֖ת הֵאָסֵ֣ף הַמִּקְנֶ֑ה
not time gathered the,livestock
Alternate translation: “so it is too soon to gather the flocks for the night.”
Note 3 topic: writing-politeness
הַשְׁק֥וּ הַצֹּ֖אן
water the,sheep
For some languages it sounds too rude for Jacob to make a direct command here, so it is better to make this a suggestion or even a rhetorical question. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “You ought to get water for them” or “It seems like you should water your sheep” or “So why not water your sheep”
וּלְכ֥וּ רְעֽוּ
and,go Reu
Alternate translation: “then take them back out to the fields to graze some more.” or “then you can take them out to eat more grass.”
29:2-12 Jacob’s meeting Rachel at the well was providentially timed by the sovereign God who was leading Jacob to fulfillment of the promises (cp. 24:12-20). The well was a reminder of God’s blessing (cp. 16:13-14; 21:19; 26:19-25, 33).
