1
Now 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."
2
Then 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?"
3
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."
4
So she gave
him her maid
Bilhah
as a wife,
and Jacob
went
in to her.
5
Bilhah
conceived
and bore
Jacob
a son.
6
Then Rachel
said,
"God
has vindicated
me, and has indeed
heard
my voice
and has given
me a son."
Therefore
she named
him Dan.
7
Rachel's
maid
Bilhah
conceived
again
and bore
Jacob
a second
son.
8
So Rachel
said,
"With mighty
wrestlings
I have wrestled
with my sister,
and I have indeed
prevailed."
And she named
him Naphtali.
9
When Leah
saw
that she had stopped
bearing,
she took
her maid
Zilpah
and gave
her to Jacob
as a wife.
10
Leah's
maid
Zilpah
bore
Jacob
a son.
11
Then Leah
said,
"How fortunate!"
So she named
him Gad.
12
Leah's
maid
Zilpah
bore
Jacob
a second
son.
13
Then Leah
said,
"Happy
am I! For women
will call
me happy."
So she named
him Asher.
14
Now 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
."
15
But 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
."
16
When 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.
17
God
gave heed
to Leah,
and she conceived
and bore
Jacob
a fifth
son.
18
Then Leah
said,
"God
has given
me my wages
because
I gave
my maid
to my husband."
So she named
him Issachar.
19
Leah
conceived
again
and bore
a sixth
son
to Jacob.
20
Then 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.
21
Afterward
she bore
a daughter
and named
her Dinah.
22
Then God
remembered
Rachel,
and God
gave heed
to her and opened
her womb.
23
So she conceived
and bore
a son
and said,
"God
has taken away
my reproach."
24
She named
him Joseph,
saying,
"May the LORD
give
me another
son."
25
Now 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.
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."
27
But Laban
said
to him, "If
now
it pleases
you, stay with me; I have divined
that the LORD
has blessed
me on your account."
28
He continued,
"Name
me your wages,
and I will give
it."
29
But he said
to him, "You yourself
know
how
I have served
you and
how
your cattle
have fared
with me.
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?"
31
So 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:
32
let 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.
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."
34
Laban
said,
"Good,
let it be according to your word."
35
So 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.
36
And he put
a distance of three
days'
journey
between
himself
and Jacob
,
and Jacob
fed
the rest
of Laban's
flocks.
37
Then 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
.
38
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.
39
So the flocks
mated
by the rods,
and the flocks
brought forth
striped,
speckled,
and spotted.
40
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.
41
Moreover, whenever
the stronger
of the flock
were mating,
Jacob
would place
the rods
in the sight
of the flock
in the gutters,
so that they might mate
by
the rods
;
42
but when the flock
was feeble,
he did not put
them in; so the feebler
were Laban's
and the stronger
Jacob's.
43
So the man
became
exceedingly
prosperous,
and had
large
flocks
and female
and male servants
and camels
and donkeys.
