Genesis 30

The Sons of Jacob

1

Now when Rachelh7354 sawh7200 that  ashe boreh3205 Jacobh3290 noh3808 children,  1she becameh7065 jealoush7065 of her sisterh269; and she saidh559 to Jacobh3290, " bGiveh3051 me childrenh1121, or elseh518h369 I dieh4191."

2

Then Jacob'sh3290 angerh639 burnedh2734 against Rachelh7354, and he saidh559, "Am I in the placeh8478 of Godh430, whoh834 has  awithheldh4513 from you the fruith6529 of the wombh990?"

3

She saidh559, " aHereh2009 is my maidh519 Bilhahh1090a, goh935 in to her that she may  bbearh3205 on my kneesh1290, that  1 athroughh4480 her I tooh1571 may haveh1129 childrenh1129."

4

So  ashe gaveh5414 him her maidh8198 Bilhahh1090a as a wifeh802, and Jacobh3290 wenth935 in to her.

5

Bilhahh1090a conceivedh2029 and boreh3205 Jacobh3290 a sonh1121.

6

Then Rachelh7354 saidh559, "Godh430 has  1 avindicatedh1777 me, and has indeedh1571 heardh8085 my voiceh6963 and has givenh5414 me a sonh1121." Thereforeh5921h3651 she namedh7121 him  2Danh1835.

7

Rachel'sh7354 maidh8198 Bilhahh1090a conceivedh2029 againh5750 and boreh3205 Jacobh3290 a secondh8145 sonh1121.

8

So Rachelh7354 saidh559, "With  1mightyh430 wrestlingsh5319 I have  2wrestledh6617 with my sisterh269, and I have indeedh1571 prevailedh3201." And she namedh7121 him Naphtalih5321.

9

When Leahh3812 sawh7200 that she had stoppedh5975 bearingh3205, she tookh3947 her maidh8198 Zilpahh2153 and gaveh5414 her to Jacobh3290 as a wifeh802.

10

Leah'sh3812 maidh8198 Zilpahh2153 boreh3205 Jacobh3290 a sonh1121.

11

Then Leahh3812 saidh559, " 1How fortunateh1409!" So she namedh7121 him  2Gadh1410.

12

Leah'sh3812 maidh8198 Zilpahh2153 boreh3205 Jacobh3290 a secondh8145 sonh1121.

13

Then Leahh3812 saidh559, " 1Happyh837 am I! For womenh1323  awill callh7121 me happyh833." So she namedh7121 him  2Asherh836.

14

Now in the daysh3117 of wheath2406 harvesth7105a Reubenh7205 wenth1980 and foundh4672  amandrakesh1736 in the fieldh7704, and broughth935 them to his motherh517 Leahh3812. Then Rachelh7354 saidh559 to Leahh3812, "Pleaseh4994 giveh5414 me someh4480 of your son'sh1121 mandrakesh1736."

15

But she saidh559 to her, "Is it a smallh4592 matterh4592 for you to takeh3947 my husbandh376? And would you takeh3947 my son'sh1121 mandrakesh1736 alsoh1571?" So Rachelh7354 saidh559, "Thereforeh3651 he may lieh7901 with you tonighth3915 in returnh8478 for your son'sh1121 mandrakesh1736."

16

When Jacobh3290 cameh935 in from the fieldh7704 in the eveningh6153, then Leahh3812 wenth3318 out to meeth7122 him and saidh559, "You must comeh935 in to me, for I have surelyh7936 hiredh7936 you with my son'sh1121 mandrakesh1736." So he layh7901 with her that nighth3915.

17

Godh430 gaveh8085 heedh8085 to Leahh3812, and she conceivedh2029 and boreh3205 Jacobh3290 a fifthh2549 sonh1121.

18

Then Leahh3812 saidh559, "Godh430 has givenh5414 me my  1wagesh7939 becauseh834 I gaveh5414 my maidh8198 to my husbandh376." So she namedh7121 him Issacharh3485.

19

Leahh3812 conceivedh2029 againh5750 and boreh3205 a sixthh8345 sonh1121 to Jacobh3290.

20

Then Leahh3812 saidh559, "Godh430 has endowedh2064 me with a goodh2896a gifth2065; nowh6471 my husbandh376  1will dwellh2082 with me, becauseh3588 I have borneh3205 him sixh8337a sonsh1121." So she namedh7121 him Zebulunh2074.

21

Afterwardh310 she boreh3205 a daughterh1323 and namedh7121h8034 her Dinahh1783.

22

Then  aGodh430 rememberedh2142 Rachelh7354, and Godh430 gaveh8085 heedh8085 to her and  bopenedh6605a her wombh7358.

23

So she conceivedh2029 and boreh3205 a sonh1121 and saidh559, "Godh430 has  atakenh622 awayh622 my reproachh2781."

24

She namedh7121h8034 him Josephh3130, sayingh559, " aMay the LORDh3068  1giveh3254 me anotherh312 sonh1121."

Jacob Prospers

25

Now it cameh1961 about whenh3512c Rachelh7354 had borneh3205 Josephh3130, that Jacobh3290 saidh559 to Labanh3837a, " aSendh7971 me awayh7971, that I may goh1980 to my own placeh4725 and to my own countryh776.

26

"Giveh5414 me my wivesh802 and my childrenh3206  afor whomh834 I have servedh5647 you, and let me departh1980; for you yourselfh859 knowh3045 my serviceh5656 whichh834 I have  1renderedh5647 you."

27

But Labanh3837a saidh559 to him, "Ifh518 nowh4994  1it pleasesh4672h2580 you, stay with me; I have divinedh5172  athat the LORDh3068 has blessedh1288 me on your accounth1558."

28

He  1continuedh559, " aNameh5344a me your wagesh7939, and I will giveh5414 it."

29

But he saidh559 to him, " aYou yourselfh859 knowh3045 howh854h834 I have servedh5647 you and howh854h834 your cattleh4735 have  1faredh1961 with me.

30

"For you hadh1961 littleh4592 beforeh6440  1I came and it has  2increasedh6555 to a multitudeh7230, and the LORDh3068 has blessedh1288 you  3wherever I turnedh7272. But nowh6258, whenh4970 shall I provideh6213a for my own householdh1004 alsoh1571?"

31

So he saidh559, "Whath4100 shall I giveh5414 you?" And Jacobh3290 saidh559, "You shall not giveh5414 me anythingh3972. Ifh518 you will doh6213a thish2088 one thingh1697 for me, I will againh7725 pastureh7462a and keeph8104 your flockh6629:

32

let me passh5674a through your entireh3605 flockh6629 todayh3117, removingh5493 from thereh8033 everyh3605  aspeckledh5348 and spottedh2921 sheeph7716 and everyh3605 blackh2345  1oneh7716 among the lambsh3775 and the spottedh2921 and speckledh5348 among the goatsh5795; and such shall be my wagesh7939.

33

"So my  1honestyh6666 will answerh6030a for me laterh4279h3117, whenh3588 you comeh935 concerningh5921 my  2wagesh7939. Everyh3605 oneh3605 that is not speckledh5348 and spottedh2921 among the goatsh5795 and blackh2345 among the lambsh3775, if found with me, will be considered stolenh1589."

34

Labanh3837a saidh559, " 1Goodh2005, let it be according to your wordh1697."

35

So he removedh5493 on that dayh3117 the stripedh6124 and spottedh2921 maleh8495 goatsh8495 and allh3605 the speckledh5348 and spottedh2921 femaleh5795 goatsh5795, everyh3605 oneh3605 with whiteh3836 in it, and allh3605 the blackh2345 onesh2345 among the sheeph3775, and gaveh5414 them into the  1careh3027 of his sonsh1121.

36

And he puth7760 a distance of threeh7969 days'h3117 journeyh1870 betweenh996 himself and Jacobh3290, and Jacobh3290 fedh7462a the resth3498 of Laban'sh3837a flocksh6629.

37

Then Jacobh3290  1tookh3947 freshh3892 rodsh4731 of poplarh3839 and almondh3869 and planeh6196 treesh6196, and peeledh6478 whiteh3836 stripesh6479 in them, exposingh4286 the whiteh3836 whichh834 was  2in the rodsh4731.

38

He seth3322 the rodsh4731 whichh834 he had peeledh6478 in fronth5227 of the flocksh6629 in the guttersh7298a, even in the wateringh4325 troughsh8268, whereh834 the flocksh6629 cameh935 to drinkh8354; and they  1matedh2552 when they cameh935 to drinkh8354.

39

So the flocksh6629  1matedh2552 by the rodsh4731, and the flocksh6629 broughth3205 forthh3205 stripedh6124, speckledh5348, and spottedh2921.

40

Jacobh3290 separatedh6504 the lambsh3775, and  1madeh5414 the flocksh6629 faceh6440 towardh413 the stripedh6124 and allh3605 the blackh2345 in the flockh6629 of Labanh3837a; and he puth7896 his own herdsh5739 aparth905, and did not puth7896 them with Laban'sh3837a flockh6629.

41

Moreover, wheneverh3605 the  1strongerh7194 of the flockh6629  2were matingh3179, Jacobh3290 would placeh7760 the rodsh4731 in the sighth5869 of the flockh6629 in the guttersh7298a, so that they might  3mateh3179 by the rodsh4731;

42

but when the flockh6629 was feebleh5848c, he did not puth7760 them in; so the feeblerh5848c were Laban'sh3837a and the  1strongerh7194 Jacob'sh3290.

43

So  athe manh376  1becameh6555 exceedinglyh3966 prosperoush6555, and hadh1961 largeh7227a flocksh6629 and femaleh8198 and maleh5650 servantsh5650h8198 and camelsh1581 and donkeysh2543.
