English Standard Version Help
30When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"H7354H7200H3205H3290H7354H7065H269H559H3290H3051H1121H369H4191 2Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"H3290H639H2734H7354H559H430H4513H6529H990 3Then she said, "Here is my servant Bilhah; go in to her, so that she may give birth on my behalf, that even I may have children through her."H559H519H1090H935H3205H1290H1129 4So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.H5414H1090H8198H802H3290H935 5And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.H1090H2029H3205H3290H1121 6Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.H7354H559H430H1777H8085H6963H5414H1121H7121H8034H1835 7Rachel's servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.H1090H7354H8198H2029H3205H3290H8145H1121 8Then Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed." So she called his name Naphtali.H7354H559H430H5319H6617H269H3201H7121H8034H5321 9When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.H3812H7200H5975H3205H3947H2153H8198H5414H3290H802 10Then Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.H2153H3812H8198H3205H3290H1121 11And Leah said, "Good fortune has come!" so she called his name Gad.H3812H559H1409H935H7121H8034H1410 12Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.H2153H3812H8198H3205H3290H8145H1121 13And Leah said, "Happy am I! For women have called me happy." So she called his name Asher.H3812H559H837H1323H833H7121H8034H836 14In the days of wheat harvest Reuben went 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?" Rachel said, "Then he may lie with you tonight in exchange for your son's mandrakes."H559H4592H3947H376H3947H1121H1736H7354H559H7901H3915H8478H1121H1736 16When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." So 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 gave my servant to my husband." So she called his name Issachar.H3812H559H430H5414H7939H834H5414H8198H376H7121H8034H3485 19And Leah conceived again, and she bore Jacob a sixth son.H3812H2029H3205H3290H8345H1121 20Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will honor 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 23She conceived and bore a son and said, "God has taken away my reproach."H2029H3205H1121H559H430H622H2781 24And she called his name Joseph, saying, "May the LORD add to me another son!"H7121H8034H3130H559H3068H3254H312H1121

Jacob’s Prosperity

25As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country.H7354H3205H3130H3290H559H3837H7971H3212H4725H776 26Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, that I may go, for you know the service that I have given you."H5414H802H3206H2004H5647H3212H3045H5656H5647 27But Laban said to him, "If I have found favor in your sight, I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.H3837H559H4672H2580H5869H5172H3068H1288H1558 28Name your wages, and I will give it."H559H5344H7939H5414 29Jacob said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you, and how your livestock has fared with me.H559H3045H834H5647H834H4735 30For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?"H4592H6440H6555H7230H3068H1288H7272H4970H6213H1004 31He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this for me, I will again pasture your flock and keep it:H559H5414H3290H559H5414H3972H6213H1697H7725H7462H8104H6629 32let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.H5674H6629H3117H5493H5348H2921H7716H2345H7716H3775H2921H5348H5795H7939 33So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen."H6666H6030H3117H4279H935H7939H6440H3605H5348H2921H5795H2345H3775H1589 34Laban said, "Good! Let it be as you have said."H3837H559H3863H1697 35But that day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in the charge of his sons.H5493H3117H8495H6124H2921H5795H5348H2921H3836H2345H3775H5414H3027H1121 36And he set a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flock.H7760H7969H3117H1870H3290H3290H7462H3498H3837H6629 37Then Jacob took fresh sticks of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the sticks.H3290H3947H4731H3892H3839H3869H6196H6478H3836H6479H3836H4286H4731 38He set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,H3322H4731H6478H5227H6629H7298H4325H8268H6629H935H8354H3179H935H8354 39the flocks bred in front of the sticks and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.H6629H3179H4731H3205H6629H6124H5348H2921 40And Jacob separated the lambs and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban. He put his own droves apart and did not put them with Laban's flock.H3290H6504H3775H5414H6440H6629H413H6124H2345H6629H3837H7896H5739H7896H3837H6629 41Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, Jacob would lay the sticks in the troughs before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the sticks,H7194H6629H3179H3290H7760H4731H5869H6629H7298H3179H4731 42but for the feebler of the flock he would not lay them there. So the feebler would be Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.H6629H5848H7760H5848H3837H7194H3290 43Thus the man increased greatly and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.H376H6555H3966H3966H7227H6629H8198H5650H1581H2543
