Jacob’s Children

30Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die!"H7354H7200H3205H3290H7354H7065H269H559H3290H3051H1121H369H4191 2And Jacob's anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"H3290H639H2734H7354H559H430H4513H6529H990 3So she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she will bear a child on my knees, that I also may have children by her."H559H519H1090H935H3205H1290H1129 4Then she gave him Bilhah her maid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.H5414H1090H8198H802H3290H935 5And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.H1090H2029H3205H3290H1121 6Then Rachel said, "God has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.H7354H559H430H1777H8085H6963H5414H1121H7121H8034H1835 7And Rachel's maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.H1090H7354H8198H2029H3205H3290H8145H1121 8Then Rachel said, "With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed." So she called his name Naphtali.H7354H559H430H5319H6617H269H3201H7121H8034H5321 9When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid and gave her to Jacob as wife.H3812H7200H5975H3205H3947H2153H8198H5414H3290H802 10And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.H2153H3812H8198H3205H3290H1121 11Then Leah said, "A troop comes!" So she called his name Gad.H3812H559H1409H935H7121H8034H1410 12And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.H2153H3812H8198H3205H3290H8145H1121 13Then Leah said, "I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed." So she called his name Asher.H3812H559H837H1323H833H7121H8034H836 14Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."H7205H3212H3117H2406H7105H4672H1736H7704H935H517H3812H7354H559H3812H5414H1121H1736 15But she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?" And Rachel said, "Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."H559H4592H3947H376H3947H1121H1736H7354H559H7901H3915H8478H1121H1736 16When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." And he lay with her that night.H3290H935H7704H6153H3812H3318H7125H559H935H7936H7936H1121H1736H7901H3915 17And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.H430H8085H3812H2029H3205H3290H2549H1121 18Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband." So she called his name Issachar.H3812H559H430H5414H7939H834H5414H8198H376H7121H8034H3485 19Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.H3812H2029H3205H3290H8345H1121 20And Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she called his name Zebulun.H3812H559H430H2064H2896H2065H6471H376H2082H3205H8337H1121H7121H8034H2074 21Afterward she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.H310H3205H1323H7121H8034H1783 22Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.H430H2142H7354H430H8085H6605H7358 23And she conceived and bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach."H2029H3205H1121H559H430H622H2781 24So she called his name Joseph, and said, "The LORD shall add to me another son."H7121H8034H3130H559H3068H3254H312H1121

Jacob’s Agreement with Laban

25And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my country.H7354H3205H3130H3290H559H3837H7971H3212H4725H776 26"Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service which I have done for you."H5414H802H3206H2004H5647H3212H3045H5656H5647 27And Laban said to him, "Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake."H3837H559H4672H2580H5869H5172H3068H1288H1558 28Then he said, "Name me your wages, and I will give it."H559H5344H7939H5414 29So Jacob said to him, "You know how I have served you and how your livestock has been with me.H559H3045H834H5647H834H4735 30"For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased to a great amount; the LORD has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?"H4592H6440H6555H7230H3068H1288H7272H4970H6213H1004 31So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flocks:H559H5414H3290H559H5414H3972H6213H1697H7725H7462H8104H6629 32"Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from there all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and these shall be my wages.H5674H6629H3117H5493H5348H2921H7716H2345H7716H3775H2921H5348H5795H7939 33"So my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me."H6666H6030H3117H4279H935H7939H6440H3605H5348H2921H5795H2345H3775H1589 34And Laban said, "Oh, that it were according to your word!"H3837H559H3863H1697 35So he removed that day the male goats that were speckled and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons.H5493H3117H8495H6124H2921H5795H5348H2921H3836H2345H3775H5414H3027H1121 36Then he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.H7760H7969H3117H1870H3290H3290H7462H3498H3837H6629 37Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and exposed the white which was in the rods.H3290H3947H4731H3892H3839H3869H6196H6478H3836H6479H3836H4286H4731 38And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink.H3322H4731H6478H5227H6629H7298H4325H8268H6629H935H8354H3179H935H8354 39So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.H6629H3179H4731H3205H6629H6124H5348H2921 40Then Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban's flock.H3290H6504H3775H5414H6440H6629H413H6124H2345H6629H3837H7896H5739H7896H3837H6629 41And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.H7194H6629H3179H3290H7760H4731H5869H6629H7298H3179H4731 42But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's.H6629H5848H7760H5848H3837H7194H3290 43Thus the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.H376H6555H3966H3966H7227H6629H8198H5650H1581H2543
