Genesis 30

1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

And she saw Rachel that not she had borne children to Jacob and she was jealous Rachel of sister her and she said to Jacob give! to me children and if not [am] about to die I.

2 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?

And it burned [the] anger of Jacob on Rachel and he said ¿ in place of God [am] I who he has withheld from you fruit of [the] womb.

3 Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.

And she said here! maidservant my Bilhah go into her so she may bear children on knees my so I may be built up also I from her.

4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.

And she gave to him Bilhah maidservant her to a wife and he went into her Jacob.

5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

And she conceived Bilhah and she bore to Jacob a son.

6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

And she said Rachel he has vindicated me God and also he has listened to voice my and he has given to me a son there-fore she called name his Dan.

7 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

And she conceived again and she bore Bilhah [the] maidservant of Rachel a son second to Jacob.

8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

And she said Rachel wrestling of God - I have wrestled with sister my also I have prevailed and she called name his Naphtali.

9 When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

And she saw Leah that she had stopped from bearing children and she took Zilpah maidservant her and she gave her to Jacob to a wife.

10 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

And she bore Zilpah [the] maidservant of Leah to Jacob a son.

11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

And she said Leah (it has come good fortune *Q(K)*) and she called name his Gad.

12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

And she bore Zilpah [the] maidservant of Leah a son second to Jacob.

13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

And she said Leah in happiness my for they will call happy me daughters and she called name his Asher.

14 Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

And he went Reuben in [the] days of [the] harvest of wheat and he found mandrakes in the field and he brought them to Leah mother his and she said Rachel to Leah give please to me some of [the] mandrakes of son your.

15 But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

And she said to her ¿ small taking you husband my and to take also [the] mandrakes of son my and she said Rachel therefore he will lie with you this night for [the] mandrakes of son your.

16 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

And he came Jacob from the field in the evening and she went out Leah to meet him and she said into me you will come for certainly I have hired you for [the] mandrakes of son my and he lay with her in the night that.

17 And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

And he listened God to Leah and she conceived and she bore to Jacob a son fifth.

18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

And she said Leah he has given God reward my that I gave maidservant my to husband my and she called name his Issachar.

19 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.

And she conceived again Leah and she bore a son sixth to Jacob.

20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

And she said Leah he has endowed me God - me an endowment good this time he will honor me husband my for I have borne to him six sons and she called name his Zebulun.

21 After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.

And after she bore a daughter and she called name her Dinah.

22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.

And he remembered God Rachel and he listened to her God and he opened womb her.

23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

And she conceived and she bore a son and she said he has removed God reproach my.

24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.

And she called name his Joseph saying may he add Yahweh to me a son another.

25 Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

And it was just as she had borne Rachel Joseph and he said Jacob to Laban send off me so let me go to place my and to land my.

26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

Give! wives my and children my whom I have served you for them so I may go for you you know service my which I have served you.

27 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

And he said to him Laban if please I have found favor in view your I have learned by divination and he has blessed me Yahweh on account of you.

28 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.

And he said designate! wage[s] your on me so let me give [it].

29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.

And he said to him you you know how I have served you and how it has been livestock your with me.

30 For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

For a little which it be[longed] to you before me and it has increased to abundance and he has blessed Yahweh you to foot my and now when? will I work also I for own household my.

31 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:

And he said what? will I give to you and he said Jacob not you will give to me anything if you will do for me the thing this I will return I will tend flock your I will protect [it].

32 Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.

Let me pass in all flock your this day I will remove from there every sheep - speckled and spotted and every sheep dark among the lambs and [the] spotted and [the] speckled among the goats and it will be wage[s] my.

33 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.

And it will testify for me righteousness my on a day in future time for you will come on wage[s] my before you all that not [is] it speckled and spotted among the goats and dark among the lambs [is] stolen it with me.

34 And Laban said, Let it be as you say.

And he said Laban there! if let it be according to word your.

35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;

And he removed on the day that the male goats striped and spotted and all the female goats speckled and spotted all that white [was] on it and every dark [one] among the lambs and he gave [them] in [the] hand of sons his.

36 And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.

And he put a journey of three days between himself and between Jacob and Jacob [was] pasturing [the] flock of Laban which remained.

37 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.

And he took for himself Jacob branch[es] of poplar freshly cut and almond and plane tree and he stripped on them strips white [the] peeling of the white [wood] which [was] on the branches.

38 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.

And he placed the branches which he had stripped in the drinking troughs in [the] watering channels of water which they came the flock to drink to before the flock and they mated when came they to drink.

39 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.

And they mated the flock to the branches and they bore the flock striped [ones] speckled [ones] and spotted [ones].

40 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.

And the lambs he separated Jacob and he set [the] faces of the flock to [the] striped and every dark [one] among [the] flock of Laban and he made for himself flocks to only him and not he put them with [the] flock of Laban.

41 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

And it was in all [the] being in heat of the sheep vigorous [female] and he put out Jacob the branches to [the] eyes of the sheep in the drinking troughs to mate her at the branches.

42 But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.

And when was feeble the sheep not he put [them] out and it was the enfeebled ones [belonged] to Laban and the vigorous [ones] [belonged] to Jacob.

43 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.

And he increased the man very very and it be[longed] to him sheep many and female servants and [male] servants and camels and donkeys.
