Genesis 30

1 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.

And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

2 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.

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?

3 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.

And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.

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

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

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

And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

6 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.

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.

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

And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.

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

And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

9 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.

When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.

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

And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son.

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

And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad.

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

And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a second son.

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

And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: and she called his name Asher.

14 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.

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.

15 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.

And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away 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.

16 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.

And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

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

And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob a fifth son.

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

And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

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

And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob.

20 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.

And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.

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

And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

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

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

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

And she conceived, and bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

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

and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son.

25 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.

And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.

26 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.

Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.

27 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.

And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry]: [for] I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake.

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

And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.

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

And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.

30 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.

For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

31 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].

And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.

32 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.

I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.

33 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.

So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, [if found] with me, shall be counted stolen.

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

And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

35 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.

And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons;

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

and he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37 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.

And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

38 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.

And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.

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

And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.

40 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.

And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban’s flock.

41 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.

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;

42 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.

but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.

43 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.

And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
