The Sons of Jacob

30Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die."H7354H7200H3205H3290H7354H7065H269H559H3290H3051H1121H369H4191 2Then Jacob's anger burned against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"H3290H639H2734H7354H559H430H4513H6529H990 3And she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, that through her I too may have children."H559H519H1090H935H3205H1290H1129 4So she gave him her maid 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 vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son." Therefore she named him Dan.H7354H559H430H1777H8085H6963H5414H1121H7121H8034H1835 7And Rachel's maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.H1090H7354H8198H2029H3205H3290H8145H1121 8So Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, [and] I have indeed prevailed." And she named him Naphtali.H7354H559H430H5319H6617H269H3201H7121H8034H5321 9When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.H3812H7200H5975H3205H3947H2153H8198H5414H3290H802 10And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.H2153H3812H8198H3205H3290H1121 11Then Leah said, "How fortunate!" So she named him Gad.H3812H559H1409H935H7121H8034H1410 12And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.H2153H3812H8198H3205H3290H8145H1121 13Then Leah said, "Happy am I! For women will call me happy." So she named him Asher.H3812H559H837H1323H833H7121H8034H836 14Now in 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 for you to take my husband? And would you take my son's mandrakes also?" So Rachel said, "Therefore he may lie with you tonight in return for your son's mandrakes."H559H4592H3947H376H3947H1121H1736H7354H559H7901H3915H8478H1121H1736 16When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, then 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." So he lay with her that night.H3290H935H7704H6153H3812H3318H7125H559H935H7936H7936H1121H1736H7901H3915 17And God gave heed to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.H430H8085H3812H2029H3205H3290H2549H1121 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar.H3812H559H430H5414H7939H834H5414H8198H376H7121H8034H3485 19And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob.H3812H2029H3205H3290H8345H1121 20Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.H3812H559H430H2064H2896H2065H6471H376H2082H3205H8337H1121H7121H8034H2074 21And afterward she bore a daughter and named her Dinah.H310H3205H1323H7121H8034H1783 22Then God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.H430H2142H7354H430H8085H6605H7358 23So she conceived and bore a son and said, "God has taken away my reproach."H2029H3205H1121H559H430H622H2781 24And she named him Joseph, saying, "May the LORD give me another son."H7121H8034H3130H559H3068H3254H312H1121

Jacob Prospers

25Now it came about when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my own country.H7354H3205H3130H3290H559H3837H7971H3212H4725H776 26"Give [me] my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me depart; for you yourself know my service which I have rendered you."H5414H802H3206H2004H5647H3212H3045H5656H5647 27But Laban said to him, "If now it pleases you, [stay with me;] I have divined that the LORD has blessed me on your account."H3837H559H4672H2580H5869H5172H3068H1288H1558 28And he continued, "Name me your wages, and I will give it."H559H5344H7939H5414 29But he said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you and how your cattle have fared with me.H559H3045H834H5647H834H4735 30"For you had little before I came, and it has increased to a multitude; and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household also?"H4592H6440H6555H7230H3068H1288H7272H4970H6213H1004 31So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this [one] thing for me, I will again pasture [and] keep your flock:H559H5414H3290H559H5414H3972H6213H1697H7725H7462H8104H6629 32let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep, and every black one among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and [such] shall be my wages.H5674H6629H3117H5493H5348H2921H7716H2345H7716H3775H2921H5348H5795H7939 33"So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, [if found] with me, will be considered stolen."H6666H6030H3117H4279H935H7939H6440H3605H5348H2921H5795H2345H3775H1589 34And Laban said, "Good, let it be according to your word."H3837H559H3863H1697 35So he removed on that day the striped and spotted male goats and all the speckled and spotted female goats, every one with white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons.H5493H3117H8495H6124H2921H5795H5348H2921H3836H2345H3775H5414H3027H1121 36And he put [a distance of] three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.H7760H7969H3117H1870H3290H3290H7462H3498H3837H6629 37Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white which [was] in the rods.H3290H3947H4731H3892H3839H3869H6196H6478H3836H6479H3836H4286H4731 38And he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the gutters, [even] in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink; and they mated when they came to drink.H3322H4731H6478H5227H6629H7298H4325H8268H6629H935H8354H3179H935H8354 39So the flocks mated by the rods, and the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.H6629H3179H4731H3205H6629H6124H5348H2921 40And Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.H3290H6504H3775H5414H6440H6629H413H6124H2345H6629H3837H7896H5739H7896H3837H6629 41Moreover, it came about whenever the stronger of the flock were mating, that Jacob would place the rods in the sight of the flock in the gutters, so that they might mate by the rods;H7194H6629H3179H3290H7760H4731H5869H6629H7298H3179H4731 42but when the flock was feeble, he did not put [them] in; so the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's.H6629H5848H7760H5848H3837H7194H3290 43So the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys.H376H6555H3966H3966H7227H6629H8198H5650H1581H2543
