01_GEN_30_01 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; And said unto Jacob, give me children, or else I die.
01_GEN_30_02 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: And he said, [ am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
01_GEN_30_03 And she said, behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; And she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
01_GEN_30_04 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: And Jacob went in unto her.
01_GEN_30_05 And Bilhah conceived, And bare Jacob A son.
01_GEN_30_06 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, And hath also heard my voice, And hath given me A son: therefore called she his name Dan.
01_GEN_30_07 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, And bare Jacob A second son.
01_GEN_30_08 And Rachel said, with great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, And I have prevailed: And she called his name Naphtali.
01_GEN_30_09 when Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, And gave her Jacob to wife.
01_GEN_30_10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob A son.
01_GEN_30_11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: And she called his name Gad.
01_GEN_30_12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob A second son.
01_GEN_30_13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: And she called his name Asher.
01_GEN_30_14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, And found mandrakes in the field, And brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
01_GEN_30_15 And she said unto her, [ Is it] A small matter that thou hast taken my husband? And wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, therefore he shall Lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
01_GEN_30_16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, And Leah went out to meet him, And said, thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
01_GEN_30_17 And God hearkened unto Leah, And she conceived, And bare Jacob the fifth son.
01_GEN_30_18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: And she called his name Issachar.
01_GEN_30_19 And Leah conceived again, And bare Jacob the sixth son.
01_GEN_30_20 And Leah said, God hath endued me [ with] A good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: And she called his name Zebulun.
01_GEN_30_21 And afterwards she bare A daughter, And called her name Dinah.
01_GEN_30_22 And God remembered Rachel, And God hearkened to her, And opened her womb.
01_GEN_30_23 And she conceived, And bare A son; And said, God hath taken away my reproach:
01_GEN_30_24 And she called his name Joseph; And said, the LORD shall add to me another son.
01_GEN_30_25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, And to my country.
01_GEN_30_26 give [ me] my wives And my children, for whom I have served thee, And let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
01_GEN_30_27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, [ tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
01_GEN_30_28 And he said, appoint me thy wages, And I will give [ it].
01_GEN_30_29 And he said unto him, thou knowest how I have served thee, And how thy cattle was with me.
01_GEN_30_30 for [ it was] little which thou hadst before I [ came], And it Is [ now] increased unto A multitude; And the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
01_GEN_30_31 And he said, what shall I give thee? And Jacob said, thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou Wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [ And] keep thy flock.
01_GEN_30_32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled And spotted cattle, And all the brown cattle among the sheep, And the spotted And speckled among the goats: And [ of such] shall be my hire.
01_GEN_30_33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [ Is] not speckled And spotted among the goats, And brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
01_GEN_30_34 And Laban said, behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
01_GEN_30_35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstreaked And spotted, And all the she goats that were speckled And spotted, [ And] every one that had [ some] white in it, And all the brown among the sheep, And gave [ them] into the hand of his sons.
01_GEN_30_36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself And Jacob: And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
01_GEN_30_37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, And of the hazel And chestnut tree; And pilled white streaks in them, And made the white appear which [ was] in the rods.
01_GEN_30_38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
01_GEN_30_39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, And brought forth cattle ringstreaked, speckled, And spotted.
01_GEN_30_40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, And set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked, And all the brown in the flock of Laban; And he put his own flocks by themselves, And put them not unto Laban's cattle.
01_GEN_30_41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
01_GEN_30_42 but when the cattle were feeble, he put [ them] not in: So the feebler were Laban's, And the stronger Jacob's.
01_GEN_30_43 And the man increased exceedingly, And had much cattle, And maidservants, And menservants, And camels, And asses.
