30:1 When
Rachel
saw
that
she
bore
Jacob
no
children,
she
envied
her
sister.
She
said
to
Jacob,
"Give
me
children,
or
I
shall
die!"
30:2 Jacob's
anger
was
kindled
against
Rachel,
and
he
said,
"Am
I
in
the
place
of
God,
who
has
withheld
from
you
the
fruit
of
the
womb"
30:3 Then
she
said,
"Here
is
my
servant
Bilhah;
go
in
to
her,
so
that
she
may
give
birth
on
my
behalf,
that
even
I
may
have
children
through
her."
30:4 So
she
gave
him
her
servant
Bilhah
as
a
wife,
and
Jacob
went
in
to
her.
30:5 And
Bilhah
conceived
and
bore
Jacob
a
son.
30:6 Then
Rachel
said,
"God
has
judged
me,
and
has
also
heard
my
voice
and
given
me
a
son."
Therefore
she
called
his
name
Dan.
30:7 Rachel's
servant
Bilhah
conceived
again
and
bore
Jacob
a
second
son.
30:8 Then
Rachel
said,
"With
mighty
wrestlings
I
have
wrestled
with
my
sister
and
have
prevailed."
So
she
called
his
name
Naphtali.
30:9 When
Leah
saw
that
she
had
ceased
bearing
children,
she
took
her
servant
Zilpah
and
gave
her
to
Jacob
as
a
wife.
30:10 Then
Leah's
servant
Zilpah
bore
Jacob
a
son.
30:11 And
Leah
said,
"Good
fortune
has
come!"
so
she
called
his
name
Gad.
30:12 Leah's
servant
Zilpah
bore
Jacob
a
second
son.
30:13 And
Leah
said,
"Happy
am
I!
For
women
have
called
me
happy."
So
she
called
his
name
Asher.
30:14 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."
30:15 But
she
said
to
her,
"Is
it
a
small
matter
that
you
have
taken
away
my
husband
Would
you
take
away
my
son's
mandrakes
also"
Rachel
said,
"Then
he
may
lie
with
you
tonight
in
exchange
for
your
son's
mandrakes."
30:16 When
Jacob
came
from
the
field
in
the
evening,
Leah
went
out
to
meet
him
and
said,
"You
must
come
in
to
me,
for
I
have
hired
you
with
my
son's
mandrakes."
So
he
lay
with
her
that
night.
30:17 And
God
listened
to
Leah,
and
she
conceived
and
bore
Jacob
a
fifth
son.
30:18 Leah
said,
"God
has
given
me
my
wages
because
I
gave
my
servant
to
my
husband."
So
she
called
his
name
Issachar.
30:19 And
Leah
conceived
again,
and
she
bore
Jacob
a
sixth
son.
30:20 Then
Leah
said,
"God
has
endowed
me
with
a
good
endowment;
now
my
husband
will
honor
me,
because
I
have
borne
him
six
sons."
So
she
called
his
name
Zebulun.
30:21 Afterward
she
bore
a
daughter
and
called
her
name
Dinah.
30:22 Then
God
remembered
Rachel,
and
God
listened
to
her
and
opened
her
womb.
30:23 She
conceived
and
bore
a
son
and
said,
"God
has
taken
away
my
reproach."
30:24 And
she
called
his
name
Joseph,
saying,
"May
the
LORD
add
to
me
another
son!"
30:25 As
soon
as
Rachel
had
borne
Joseph,
Jacob
said
to
Laban,
"Send
me
away,
that
I
may
go
to
my
own
home
and
country.
30:26 Give
me
my
wives
and
my
children
for
whom
I
have
served
you,
that
I
may
go,
for
you
know
the
service
that
I
have
given
you."
30:27 But
Laban
said
to
him,
"If
I
have
found
favor
in
your
sight,
I
have
learned
by
divination
that
the
LORD
has
blessed
me
because
of
you.
30:28 Name
your
wages,
and
I
will
give
it."
30:29 Jacob
said
to
him,
"You
yourself
know
how
I
have
served
you,
and
how
your
livestock
has
fared
with
me.
30:30 For
you
had
little
before
I
came,
and
it
has
increased
abundantly,
and
the
LORD
has
blessed
you
wherever
I
turned.
But
now
when
shall
I
provide
for
my
own
household
also"
30:31 He
said,
"What
shall
I
give
you"
Jacob
said,
"You
shall
not
give
me
anything.
If
you
will
do
this
for
me,
I
will
again
pasture
your
flock
and
keep
it:
30:32 let
me
pass
through
all
your
flock
today,
removing
from
it
every
speckled
and
spotted
sheep
and
every
black
lamb,
and
the
spotted
and
speckled
among
the
goats,
and
they
shall
be
my
wages.
30:33 So
my
honesty
will
answer
for
me
later,
when
you
come
to
look
into
my
wages
with
you.
Every
one
that
is
not
speckled
and
spotted
among
the
goats
and
black
among
the
lambs,
if
found
with
me,
shall
be
counted
stolen."
30:34 Laban
said,
"Good!
Let
it
be
as
you
have
said."
30:35 But
that
day
Laban
removed
the
male
goats
that
were
striped
and
spotted,
and
all
the
female
goats
that
were
speckled
and
spotted,
every
one
that
had
white
on
it,
and
every
lamb
that
was
black,
and
put
them
in
the
charge
of
his
sons.
30:36 And
he
set
a
distance
of
three
days'
journey
between
himself
and
Jacob,
and
Jacob
pastured
the
rest
of
Laban's
flock.
30:37 Then
Jacob
took
fresh
sticks
of
poplar
and
almond
and
plane
trees,
and
peeled
white
streaks
in
them,
exposing
the
white
of
the
sticks.
30:38 He
set
the
sticks
that
he
had
peeled
in
front
of
the
flocks
in
the
troughs,
that
is,
the
watering
places,
where
the
flocks
came
to
drink.
And
since
they
bred
when
they
came
to
drink,
30:39 the
flocks
bred
in
front
of
the
sticks
and
so
the
flocks
brought
forth
striped,
speckled,
and
spotted.
30:40 And
Jacob
separated
the
lambs
and
set
the
faces
of
the
flocks
toward
the
striped
and
all
the
black
in
the
flock
of
Laban.
He
put
his
own
droves
apart
and
did
not
put
them
with
Laban's
flock.
30:41 Whenever
the
stronger
of
the
flock
were
breeding,
Jacob
would
lay
the
sticks
in
the
troughs
before
the
eyes
of
the
flock,
that
they
might
breed
among
the
sticks,
30:42 but
for
the
feebler
of
the
flock
he
would
not
lay
them
there.
So
the
feebler
would
be
Laban's,
and
the
stronger
Jacob's.
30:43 Thus
the
man
increased
greatly
and
had
large
flocks,
female
servants
and
male
servants,
and
camels
and
donkeys.
