# the people of the east

This means the people of Paddan Aram, which is a land east of the land of Canaan.

# and, behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it

The word "behold" marks the beginning of another event in the larger story. Your language may have a way of doing this.

# For out of that well

# they would water

"the shepherds would water" or "those taking care of the sheep would water"
