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.

When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will 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.

Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you 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.

She said, "Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her."

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

So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.

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

Bilhah conceived, and bore 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.

Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.

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

Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore 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.

Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and have prevailed." So she named him 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 stopped bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

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

Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

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

Leah said, "How fortunate." So she named him Gad.

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

Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore 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.

Leah said, "Happy am I, for the women will call me happy." So she named him 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.

Reuben went out during the wheat harvest 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."

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.

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, "Therefore he may sleep with you tonight for your 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.

Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must sleep with me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night.

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

God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore 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.

Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant to my husband." So she named him Issachar.

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

Leah conceived again, and bore 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.

Leah said, "God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.

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

Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

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

God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and made her fertile.

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

She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my shame."

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

So she named him Joseph, saying, "May God add another son to me."

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.

It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my 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 you, and let me go; for you know the service I have given you."

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.

Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination that God has blessed me for your sake."

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

He said, "Name your wages, and I will pay it."

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

He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how well your livestock have done 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 you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. And God has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I also provide for my own household?"

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].

He said, "What should I give you?" Jacob said, "You do not need to give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture your flock and take care of 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 your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my wages.

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 my honesty will testify for me later on, when the subject of my wages comes before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep that I have in my possession, will be counted as stolen."

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

Laban said, "Look, let it be as you have said."

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.

That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and put them in the care 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.

He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured 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.

Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks by peeling them, exposing white stripes on the branches.

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.

He set up the peeled branches which he had peeled opposite 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,

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

the flocks bred in front of the branches, and the flocks brought bore streaked, 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.

Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban. So he kept his own flocks separate, and did not put them into 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.

It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, that Jacob would set up the branches in front of the flock in the troughs, so that they would breed near the branches;

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 for the weaker of the flock, he did not put them there. So the weaker would be 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.

Thus the man became very rich, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
