1 And when Rachel <07354> saw <07200> (8799) that she bare <03205> (8804) Jacob <03290> no children, Rachel <07354> envied <07065> (8762) her sister <0269>; and said <0559> (8799) unto Jacob <03290>, Give <03051> (8798) me children <01121>, or else <0369> I die <04191> (8801).
2 And Jacob#s <03290> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> (8799) against Rachel <07354>: and he said <0559> (8799), Am I in God#s <0430> stead, who hath withheld <04513> (8804) from thee the fruit <06529> of the womb <0990> ?
3 And she said <0559> (8799), Behold my maid <0519> Bilhah <01090>, go in <0935> (8798) unto her; and she shall bear <03205> (8799) upon my knees <01290>, that I may also have children <01129> (8735) by her.
4 And she gave <05414> (8799) him Bilhah <01090> her handmaid <08198> to wife <0802>: and Jacob <03290> went in <0935> (8799) unto her.

6 And Rachel <07354> said <0559> (8799), God <0430> hath judged <01777> (8804) me, and hath also heard <08085> (8804) my voice <06963>, and hath given <05414> (8799) me a son <01121>: therefore called <07121> (8804) she his name <08034> Dan <01835>.
7 And Bilhah <01090> Rachel#s <07354> maid <08198> conceived <02029> (8799) again, and bare <03205> (8799) Jacob <03290> a second <08145> son <01121>.
8 And Rachel <07354> said <0559> (8799), With great <0430> wrestlings <05319> have I wrestled <06617> (8738) with my sister <0269>, and I have prevailed <03201> (8804): and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Naphtali <05321>.
9 When Leah <03812> saw <07200> (8799) that she had left <05975> (8804) bearing <03205> (8800) , she took <03947> (8799) Zilpah <02153> her maid <08198>, and gave <05414> (8799) her Jacob <03290> to wife <0802>.
10 And Zilpah <02153> Leah#s <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205> (8799) Jacob <03290> a son <01121>.
11 And Leah <03812> said <0559> (8799), A troop <01409> cometh <0935> (8804): and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Gad <01410>.
12 And Zilpah <02153> Leah#s <03812> maid <08198> bare <03205> (8799) Jacob <03290> a second <08145> son <01121>.
13 And Leah <03812> said <0559> (8799), Happy am I <0837>, for the daughters <01323> will call me blessed <0833> (8765): and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Asher <0836>.
14 And Reuben <07205> went in <03212> (8799) the days <03117> of wheat <02406> harvest <07105>, and found <04672> (8799) mandrakes <01736> in the field <07704>, and brought <0935> (8686) them unto his mother <0517> Leah <03812>. Then Rachel <07354> said <0559> (8799) to Leah <03812>, Give me <05414> (8798), I pray thee, of thy son#s <01121> mandrakes <01736>.
15 And she said <0559> (8799) unto her, Is it a small matter <04592> that thou hast taken <03947> (8800) my husband <0376>? and wouldest thou take away <03947> (8800) my son#s <01121> mandrakes <01736> also? And Rachel <07354> said <0559> (8799), Therefore he shall lie <07901> (8799) with thee to night <03915> for <08478> thy son#s <01121> mandrakes <01736>.
16 And Jacob <03290> came <0935> (8799) out of the field <07704> in the evening <06153>, and Leah <03812> went out <03318> (8799) to meet <07125> (8800) him, and said <0559> (8799), Thou must come in <0935> (8799) unto me; for surely <07936> (8800) I have hired <07936> (8804) thee with my son#s <01121> mandrakes <01736>. And he lay <07901> (8799) with her that night <03915>.
17 And God <0430> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto Leah <03812>, and she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) Jacob <03290> the fifth <02549> son <01121>.
18 And Leah <03812> said <0559> (8799), God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) me my hire <07939> , because <0834> I have given <05414> (8804) my maiden <08198> to my husband <0376>: and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Issachar <03485>.
19 And Leah <03812> conceived <02029> (8799) again, and bare <03205> (8799) Jacob <03290> the sixth <08345> son <01121>.
20 And Leah <03812> said <0559> (8799), God <0430> hath endued <02064> (8804) me with a good <02896> dowry <02065>; now <06471> will my husband <0376> dwell <02082> (8799) with me, because I have born <03205> (8804) him six <08337> sons <01121>: and she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Zebulun <02074>.
21 And afterwards <0310> she bare <03205> (8804) a daughter <01323>, and called <07121> (8799) her name <08034> Dinah <01783>.
22 And God <0430> remembered <02142> (8799) Rachel <07354>, and God <0430> hearkened <08085> (8799) to her, and opened <06605> (8799) her womb <07358>.
23 And she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>; and said <0559> (8799) , God <0430> hath taken away <0622> (8804) my reproach <02781>:
24 And she called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Joseph <03130>; and said <0559> (8800), The LORD <03068> shall add <03254> (8686) to me another <0312> son <01121>.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel <07354> had born <03205> (8804) Joseph <03130>, that Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto Laban <03837>, Send me away <07971> (8761), that I may go <03212> (8799) unto mine own place <04725>, and to my country <0776>.
26 Give <05414> (8798) me my wives <0802> and my children <03206>, for <02004> whom I have served <05647> (8804) thee, and let me go <03212> (8799): for thou knowest <03045> (8804) my service <05656> which I have done <05647> (8804) thee.
27 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799) unto him, I pray thee, if I have found <04672> (8804) favour <02580> in thine eyes <05869>, tarry: for I have learned by experience <05172> (8765) that the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> (8762) me for thy sake <01558>.

28 And he said <0559> (8799), Appoint <05344> (8798) me thy wages <07939>, and I will give <05414> (8799) it.
29 And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Thou knowest <03045> (8804) how <0834> I have served <05647> (8804) thee, and how <0834> thy cattle <04735> was with me.
30 For it was little <04592> which thou hadst before I <06440> came, and it is now increased <06555> (8799) unto a multitude <07230>; and the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> (8762) thee since my coming <07272>: and now when <04970> shall I provide <06213> (8799) for mine own house <01004> also?
31 And he said <0559> (8799), What shall I give thee <05414> (8799)? And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799), Thou shalt not give <05414> (8799) me any thing <03972>: if thou wilt do <06213> (8799) this thing <01697> for me, I will again <07725> (8799) feed <07462> (8799) and keep <08104> (8799) thy flock <06629>:
32 I will pass <05674> (8799) through all thy flock <06629> to day <03117>, removing <05493> (8687) from thence all the speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> (8803) cattle <07716>, and all the brown <02345> cattle <07716> among the sheep <03775>, and the spotted <02921> (8803) and speckled <05348> among the goats <05795>: and of such shall be my hire <07939>.
33 So shall my righteousness <06666> answer <06030> (8804) for me in time <03117> to come <04279>, when it shall come <0935> (8799) for my hire <07939> before thy face <06440>: every one <03605> that is not speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> (8803) among the goats <05795>, and brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>, that shall be counted stolen <01589> (8803) with me.
34 And Laban <03837> said <0559> (8799), Behold, I would it might be <03863> according to thy word <01697>.
35 And he removed <05493> (8686) that day <03117> the he goats <08495> that were ringstraked <06124> and spotted <02921> (8803), and all the she goats <05795> that were speckled <05348> and spotted <02921> (8803), and every one that had some white <03836> in it, and all the brown <02345> among the sheep <03775>, and gave <05414> (8799) them into the hand <03027> of his sons <01121>.
36 And he set <07760> (8799) three <07969> days <03117># journey <01870> betwixt himself and Jacob <03290> : and Jacob <03290> fed <07462> (8802) the rest <03498> (8737) of Laban#s <03837> flocks <06629>.
37 And Jacob <03290> took <03947> (8799) him rods <04731> of green <03892> poplar <03839>, and of the hazel <03869> and chesnut tree <06196>; and pilled <06478> (8762) white <03836> strakes <06479> in them, and made the white <03836> appear <04286> which was in the rods <04731>.
38 And he set <03322> (8686) the rods <04731> which he had pilled <06478> (8765) before <05227> the flocks <06629> in the gutters <07298> in the watering <04325> troughs <08268> when the flocks <06629> came <0935> (8799) to drink <08354> (8800), that they should conceive <03179> (8799) when they came <0935> (8800) to drink <08354> (8800).
39 And the flocks <06629> conceived <03179> (8799) before the rods <04731>, and brought forth <03205> (8799) cattle <06629> ringstraked <06124>, speckled <05348>, and spotted <02921> (8803).
40 And Jacob <03290> did separate <06504> (8689) the lambs <03775>, and set <05414> (8799) the faces <06440> of the flocks <06629> toward <0413> the ringstraked <06124>, and all the brown <02345> in the flock <06629> of Laban <03837>; and he put <07896> (8799) his own flocks <05739> by themselves, and put <07896> (8804) them not unto Laban#s <03837> cattle <06629>.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger <07194> (8794) cattle <06629> did conceive <03179> (8763), that Jacob <03290> laid <07760> (8804) the rods <04731> before the eyes <05869> of the cattle <06629> in the gutters <07298> , that they might conceive <03179> (8763) among the rods <04731>.
42 But when the cattle <06629> were feeble <05848> (8687), he put them not in <07760> (8799): so the feebler <05848> (8803) were Laban#s <03837>, and the stronger <07194> (8803) Jacob#s <03290>.
43 And the man <0376> increased <06555> (8799) exceedingly <03966> <03966>, and had much <07227> cattle <06629>, and maidservants <08198>, and menservants <05650>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.
