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

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,
