I wasn't sure where to put this question but here it goes.
But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep." (Genesis 29:8)
Our TE is going through Genesis and, although this had absolutely nothing to do with his teaching today this verse jumped out at me while we were reading it. I know this is pulling this verse out of context, I was wondering if it's a stretch to link this verse to Christ's tomb and the stone being rolled away?
 
John,

I think it is a "stretch"; it was common to place large stones over caves/burial tombs, wells and such to keep them secure. I do not see any connection.
