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

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
