GE-30:1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children,


  • Rachel
  • envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or
  • else I
  • die.
  • GE-30:2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he
  • said,
  • [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of
  • the
  • womb?
  • GE-30:3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her;
  • and she
  • shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
  • GE-30:4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob
  • went
  • in unto her.
  • GE-30:5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
  • GE-30:6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also
  • heard my
  • voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name
  • Dan.
  • GE-30:7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare
  • Jacob a
  • second son.
  • GE-30:8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled
  • with
  • my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name
  • Naphtali.
  • GE-30:9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took
  • Zilpah her
  • maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
  • GE-30:10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
  • GE-30:11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name
  • Gad.
  • GE-30:12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
  • GE-30:13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call
  • me
  • blessed: and she called his name Asher.
  • GE-30:14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found
  • mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah.
  • Then
  • Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's
  • mandrakes.
  • GE-30:15 And she said unto her, [Is it] a small matter that
  • thou hast
  • taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes
  • also?
  • And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for
  • thy
  • son's mandrakes.
  • GE-30:16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and
  • Leah
  • went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for
  • surely
  • I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her
  • that
  • night.
  • GE-30:17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and
  • bare
  • Jacob the fifth son.
  • GE-30:18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I
  • have
  • given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
  • GE-30:19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
  • GE-30:20 And Leah said, God hath endued me [with] a good dowry;
  • now
  • will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons:
  • and
  • she called his name Zebulun.
  • GE-30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name
  • Dinah.
  • GE-30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her,
  • and
  • opened her womb.
  • GE-30:23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath
  • taken
  • away my reproach:
  • GE-30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD
  • shall add
  • to me another son.
  • GE-30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that
  • Jacob
  • said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place,
  • and
  • to my country.
  • GE-30:26 Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I have
  • served
  • thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have
  • done
  • thee.
  • GE-30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
  • favour
  • in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that
  • the LORD
  • hath blessed me for thy sake.
  • GE-30:28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give
  • [it].
  • GE-30:29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served
  • thee,
  • and how thy cattle was with me.
  • GE-30:30 For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came],
  • and it
  • is [now] increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed
  • thee
  • since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house
  • also?
  • GE-30:31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said,
  • Thou
  • shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me,
  • I will
  • again feed [and] keep thy flock.
  • GE-30:32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from
  • thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown
  • cattle
  • among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats:
  • and [of
  • such] shall be my hire.
  • GE-30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to
  • come,
  • when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that
  • [is]
  • not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the
  • sheep,
  • that shall be counted stolen with me.
  • GE-30:34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according
  • to thy
  • word.
  • GE-30:35 And he removed that day the he goats that were
  • ringstreaked
  • and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and
  • spotted,
  • [and] every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown
  • among
  • the sheep, and gave [them] into the hand of his sons.
  • GE-30:36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and
  • Jacob:
  • and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
  • GE-30:37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the
  • hazel
  • and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the
  • white appear which [was] in the rods.
  • GE-30:38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the
  • flocks in
  • the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to
  • drink,
  • that they should conceive when they came to drink.
  • GE-30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought
  • forth
  • cattle ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.
  • GE-30:40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of
  • the
  • flocks toward the ringstreaked, and all the brown in the flock of
  • Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not
  • unto
  • Laban's cattle.
  • GE-30:41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did
  • conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle
  • in
  • the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
  • GE-30:42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in:
  • so
  • the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
  • GE-30:43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle,
  • and
  • maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
