Genesis 28:1--30:43

28:1

And Isaac
<03327>

called
<07121> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and charged
<06680> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

28:2

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go
<03212> (8798)

to Padanaram
<06307>_,

to the house
<01004>

of Bethuel
<01328>

thy mother's
<0517>

father
<01>_;

and take
<03947> (8798)

thee a wife
<0802>

from thence of the daughters
<01323>

of Laban
<03837>

thy mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_.

28:3

And God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

bless
<01288> (8762)

thee, and make thee fruitful
<06509> (8686)_,

and multiply
<07235> (8686)

thee, that thou mayest be a multitude
<06951>

of people
<05971>_;

{a multitude...: Heb. an assembly of people}

28:4

And give
<05414> (8799)

thee the blessing
<01293>

of Abraham
<085>_,

to thee, and to thy seed
<02233>

with thee; that thou mayest inherit
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>

wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,

which God
<0430>

gave
<05414> (8804)

unto Abraham
<085>_.

{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}

28:5

And Isaac
<03327>

sent away
<07971> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>_:

and he went
<03212> (8799)

to Padanaram
<06307>

unto Laban
<03837>_,

son
<01121>

of Bethuel
<01328>

the Syrian
<0761>_,

the brother
<0251>

of Rebekah
<07259>_,

Jacob's
<03290>

and Esau's
<06215>

mother
<0517>_.

28:6

When Esau
<06215>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Isaac
<03327>

had blessed
<01288> (8765)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and sent him away
<07971> (8765)

to Padanaram
<06307>_,

to take
<03947> (8800)

him a wife
<0802>

from thence; and that as he blessed
<01288> (8763)

him he gave him a charge
<06680> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

28:7

And that Jacob
<03290>

obeyed
<08085> (8799)

his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

and was gone
<03212> (8799)

to Padanaram
<06307>_;

28:8

And Esau
<06215>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

that the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>

pleased
<05869>

not
<07451>

Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_;

{pleased...: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}

28:9

Then went
<03212> (8799)

Esau
<06215>

unto Ishmael
<03458>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

unto the wives
<0802>

which he had Mahalath
<04258>

the daughter
<01323>

of Ishmael
<03458>

Abraham's
<085>

son
<01121>_,

the sister
<0269>

of Nebajoth
<05032>_,

to be his wife
<0802>_.

{Mahalath: or, Bashemath}

28:10

And Jacob
<03290>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from Beersheba
<0884>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

toward Haran
<02771>_.

{Haran: Gr. Charran}

28:11

And he lighted
<06293> (8799)

upon a certain place
<04725>_,

and tarried there all night
<03885> (8799)_,

because the sun
<08121>

was set
<0935> (8804)_;

and he took
<03947> (8799)

of the stones
<068>

of that place
<04725>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

[them for] his pillows
<04763>_,

and lay down
<07901> (0)

in that place
<04725>

to sleep
<07901> (8799)_.

28:12

And he dreamed
<02492> (8799)_,

and behold a ladder
<05551>

set up
<05324> (8716)

on the earth
<0776>_,

and the top of it
<07218>

reached
<05060> (8688)

to heaven
<08064>_:

and behold the angels
<04397>

of God
<0430>

ascending
<05927> (8802)

and descending
<03381> (8802)

on it.

28:13

And, behold, the LORD
<03068>

stood
<05324> (8737)

above it, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>

thy father
<01>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Isaac
<03327>_:

the land
<0776>

whereon thou liest
<07901> (8802)_,

to thee will I give it
<05414> (8799)_,

and to thy seed
<02233>_;

28:14

And thy seed
<02233>

shall be as the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and thou shalt spread abroad
<06555> (8804)

to the west
<03220>_,

and to the east
<06924>_,

and to the north
<06828>_,

and to the south
<05045>_:

and in thee and in thy seed
<02233>

shall all the families
<04940>

of the earth
<0127>

be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.

{spread...: Heb. break forth}

28:15

And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep
<08104> (8804)

thee in all [places] whither
<0834>

thou goest
<03212> (8799)_,

and will bring thee again
<07725> (8689)

into this land
<0127>_;

for I will not leave
<05800> (8799)

thee, until
<0834>

I have done
<06213> (8804)

[that] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to thee of.

28:16

And Jacob
<03290>

awaked
<03364> (8799)

out of his sleep
<08142>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<0403>

the LORD
<03068>

is
<03426>

in this place
<04725>_;

and I knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] not.

28:17

And he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How dreadful
<03372> (8737)

[is] this place
<04725>_!

this [is] none other but the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and this [is] the gate
<08179>

of heaven
<08064>_.

28:18

And Jacob
<03290>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the stone
<068>

that he had put
<07760> (8804)

[for] his pillows
<04763>_,

and set it up
<07760> (8799)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_,

and poured
<03332> (8799)

oil
<08081>

upon the top of it
<07218>_.

28:19

And he called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Bethel
<01008>_:

but
<0199>

the name
<08034>

of that city
<05892>

[was called] Luz
<03870>

at the first
<07223>_.

{Bethel: that is, The house of God}

28:20

And Jacob
<03290>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If God
<0430>

will be with me, and will keep me
<08104> (8804)

in this way
<01870>

that I go
<01980> (8802)_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

me bread
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and raiment
<0899>

to put on
<03847> (8800)_,

28:21

So that I come again
<07725> (8804)

to my father's
<01>

house
<01004>

in peace
<07965>_;

then shall the LORD
<03068>

be my God
<0430>_:

28:22

And this stone
<068>_,

which I have set
<07760> (8804)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_,

shall be God's
<0430>

house
<01004>_:

and of all that thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)

me I will surely
<06237> (8763)

give the tenth
<06237> (8762)

unto thee.

29:1

Then Jacob
<03290>

went on
<05375> (8799)

his journey
<07272>_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the people
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_.

{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}

29:2

And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and behold a well
<0875>

in the field
<07704>_,

and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>

flocks
<05739>

of sheep
<06629>

lying
<07257> (8802)

by it; for out of that well
<0875>

they watered
<08248> (8686)

the flocks
<05739>_:

and a great
<01419>

stone
<068>

[was] upon the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_.

29:3

And thither were all the flocks
<05739>

gathered
<0622> (8738)_:

and they rolled
<01556> (8804)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_,

and watered
<08248> (8689)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and put
<07725> (0)

the stone
<068>

again
<07725> (8689)

upon the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>

in his place
<04725>_.

29:4

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,

whence
<0370>

[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Of Haran
<02771>

[are] we.

29:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)

ye Laban
<03837>

the son
<01121>

of Nahor
<05152>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We know
<03045> (8804)

[him].

29:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[He is] well
<07965>_:

and, behold, Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

with the sheep
<06629>_.

{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}

29:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lo
<02005>_,

[it is] yet high
<01419>

day
<03117>_,

neither [is it] time
<06256>

that the cattle
<04735>

should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:

water
<08248> (8685)

ye the sheep
<06629>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

[and] feed
<07462> (8798)

[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}

29:8

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,

until all the flocks
<05739>

be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,

and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_;

then we water
<08248> (8689)

the sheep
<06629>_.

29:9

And while he yet
<05750>

spake
<01696> (8764)

with them, Rachel
<07354>

came
<0935> (8804)

with her father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>_:

for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.

29:10

And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>

saw
<07200> (8804)

Rachel
<07354>

the daughter
<01323>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_,

and the sheep
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_,

that Jacob
<03290>

went near
<05066> (8799)_,

and rolled
<01556> (8686)

the stone
<068>

from the well's
<0875>

mouth
<06310>_,

and watered
<08248> (8686)

the flock
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>

his mother's
<0517>

brother
<0251>_.

29:11

And Jacob
<03290>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

29:12

And Jacob
<03290>

told
<05046> (8686)

Rachel
<07354>

that he [was] her father's
<01>

brother
<0251>_,

and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>

son
<01121>_:

and she ran
<07323> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

her father
<01>_.

29:13

And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the tidings
<08088>

of Jacob
<03290>

his sister's
<0269>

son
<01121>_,

that he ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)

him, and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to his house
<01004>_.

And he told
<05608> (8762)

Laban
<03837>

all these things
<01697>_.

{tidings: Heb. hearing}

29:14

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Surely
<0389>

thou [art] my bone
<06106>

and my flesh
<01320>_.

And he abode
<03427> (8799)

with him the space
<03117>

of a month
<02320>_.

{the space...: Heb. a month of days}

29:15

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,

shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)

me for nought
<02600>_?

tell
<05046> (8685)

me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>

[be]?

29:16

And Laban
<03837>

had two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_:

the name
<08034>

of the elder
<01419>

[was] Leah
<03812>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the younger
<06996>

[was] Rachel
<07354>_.

29:17

Leah
<03812>

[was] tender
<07390>

eyed
<05869>_;

but Rachel
<07354>

was beautiful
<03303> <08389>

and well
<03303>

favoured
<04758>_.

29:18

And Jacob
<03290>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

for Rachel
<07354>

thy younger
<06996>

daughter
<01323>_.

29:19

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] better
<02896>

that I give
<05414> (8800)

her to thee, than that I should give
<05414> (8800)

her to another
<0312>

man
<0376>_:

abide
<03427> (8798)

with me.

29:20

And Jacob
<03290>

served
<05647> (8799)

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

for Rachel
<07354>_;

and they seemed
<05869>

unto him [but] a few
<0259>

days
<03117>_,

for the love he had
<0160>

to her.

29:21

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Laban
<03837>_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

[me] my wife
<0802>_,

for my days
<03117>

are fulfilled
<04390> (8804)_,

that I may go in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

29:22

And Laban
<03837>

gathered together
<0622> (8799)

all the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>_.

29:23

And it came to pass in the evening
<06153>_,

that he took
<03947> (8799)

Leah
<03812>

his daughter
<01323>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

her to him; and he went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

29:24

And Laban
<03837>

gave
<05414> (8799)

unto his daughter
<01323>

Leah
<03812>

Zilpah
<02153>

his maid
<08198>

[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.

29:25

And it came to pass, that in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, it [was] Leah
<03812>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto me? did not I serve
<05647> (8804)

with thee for Rachel
<07354>_?

wherefore then hast thou beguiled
<07411> (8765)

me?

29:26

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

It must not be so done
<06213> (8735)

in our country
<04725>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

the younger
<06810>

before
<06440>

the firstborn
<01067>_.

{country: Heb. place}

29:27

Fulfil
<04390> (8761)

her
<02063>

week
<07620>_,

and we will give
<05414> (8799)

thee this also for the service
<05656>

which thou shalt serve
<05647> (8799)

with me yet seven
<07651>

other
<0312>

years
<08141>_.

29:28

And Jacob
<03290>

did
<06213> (8799)

so, and fulfilled
<04390> (8762)

her week
<07620>_:

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

him Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>

also.

29:29

And Laban
<03837>

gave
<05414> (8799)

to Rachel
<07354>

his daughter
<01323>

Bilhah
<01090>

his handmaid
<08198>

to be her maid
<08198>_.

29:30

And he went in
<0935> (8799)

also unto Rachel
<07354>_,

and he loved
<0157> (8799)

also Rachel
<07354>

more than Leah
<03812>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

with him yet seven
<07651>

other
<0312>

years
<08141>_.

29:31

And when the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Leah
<03812>

[was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,

he opened
<06605> (8799)

her womb
<07358>_:

but Rachel
<07354>

[was] barren
<06135>_.

29:32

And Leah
<03812>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_,

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Reuben
<07205>_:

for
<03588>

she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely
<03588>

the LORD
<03068>

hath looked
<07200> (8804)

upon my affliction
<06040>_;

now therefore
<03588>

my husband
<0376>

will love
<0157> (8799)

me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}

29:33

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the LORD
<03068>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

that I [was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,

he hath therefore given
<05414> (8799)

me this [son] also: and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Simeon
<08095>_.

{Simeon: that is, Hearing}

29:34

And she conceived again
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now this time
<06471>

will my husband
<0376>

be joined
<03867> (8735)

unto me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)

him three
<07969>

sons
<01121>_:

therefore was his name
<08034>

called
<07121> (8804)

Levi
<03878>_.

{Levi: that is, Joined}

29:35

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_:

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now
<06471>

will I praise
<03034> (8686)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore she called
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Judah
<03063>_;

and left
<05975> (8799)

bearing
<03205> (8800)_.

{Judah: that is, Praise} {left...: Heb. stood from bearing}

30:1

And when Rachel
<07354>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that she bare
<03205> (8804)

Jacob
<03290>

no children, Rachel
<07354>

envied
<07065> (8762)

her sister
<0269>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

me children
<01121>_,

or else
<0369>

I die
<04191> (8801)_.

30:2

And Jacob's
<03290>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Rachel
<07354>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Am] I in God's
<0430>

stead, who hath withheld
<04513> (8804)

from thee the fruit
<06529>

of the womb
<0990>_?

30:3

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold my maid
<0519>

Bilhah
<01090>_,

go in
<0935> (8798)

unto her; and she shall bear
<03205> (8799)

upon my knees
<01290>_,

that I may also have children
<01129> (8735)

by her. {have...: Heb. be built by her}

30:4

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

him Bilhah
<01090>

her handmaid
<08198>

to wife
<0802>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

30:5

And Bilhah
<01090>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:6

And Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath judged
<01777> (8804)

me, and hath also heard
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

and hath given
<05414> (8799)

me a son
<01121>_:

therefore called
<07121> (8804)

she his name
<08034>

Dan
<01835>_.

{Dan: that is, Judging}

30:7

And Bilhah
<01090>

Rachel's
<07354>

maid
<08198>

conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a second
<08145>

son
<01121>_.

30:8

And Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

With great
<0430>

wrestlings
<05319>

have I wrestled
<06617> (8738)

with my sister
<0269>_,

and I have prevailed
<03201> (8804)_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Naphtali
<05321>_.

{great...: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}

30:9

When Leah
<03812>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had left
<05975> (8804)

bearing
<03205> (8800)_,

she took
<03947> (8799)

Zilpah
<02153>

her maid
<08198>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her Jacob
<03290>

to wife
<0802>_.

30:10

And Zilpah
<02153>

Leah's
<03812>

maid
<08198>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:11

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

A troop
<01409>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Gad
<01410>_.

{Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}

30:12

And Zilpah
<02153>

Leah's
<03812>

maid
<08198>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a second
<08145>

son
<01121>_.

30:13

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Happy am I
<0837>_,

for the daughters
<01323>

will call me blessed
<0833> (8765)_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Asher
<0836>_.

{Happy...: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}

30:14

And Reuben
<07205>

went in
<03212> (8799)

the days
<03117>

of wheat
<02406>

harvest
<07105>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

mandrakes
<01736>

in the field
<07704>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them unto his mother
<0517>

Leah
<03812>_.

Then Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Leah
<03812>_,

Give me
<05414> (8798)_,

I pray thee, of thy son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>_.

30:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, [Is it] a small matter
<04592>

that thou hast taken
<03947> (8800)

my husband
<0376>_?

and wouldest thou take away
<03947> (8800)

my son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>

also? And Rachel
<07354>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Therefore he shall lie
<07901> (8799)

with thee to night
<03915>

for
<08478>

thy son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>_.

30:16

And Jacob
<03290>

came
<0935> (8799)

out of the field
<07704>

in the evening
<06153>_,

and Leah
<03812>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou must come in
<0935> (8799)

unto me; for surely
<07936> (8800)

I have hired
<07936> (8804)

thee with my son's
<01121>

mandrakes
<01736>_.

And he lay
<07901> (8799)

with her that night
<03915>_.

30:17

And God
<0430>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto Leah
<03812>_,

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

the fifth
<02549>

son
<01121>_.

30:18

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me my hire
<07939>_,

because
<0834>

I have given
<05414> (8804)

my maiden
<08198>

to my husband
<0376>_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Issachar
<03485>_.

{Issachar: that is, An hire}

30:19

And Leah
<03812>

conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

the sixth
<08345>

son
<01121>_.

30:20

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath endued
<02064> (8804)

me [with] a good
<02896>

dowry
<02065>_;

now
<06471>

will my husband
<0376>

dwell
<02082> (8799)

with me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)

him six
<08337>

sons
<01121>_:

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Zebulun
<02074>_.

{Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}

30:21

And afterwards
<0310>

she bare
<03205> (8804)

a daughter
<01323>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

her name
<08034>

Dinah
<01783>_.

{Dinah: that is Judgment}

30:22

And God
<0430>

remembered
<02142> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>_,

and God
<0430>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to her, and opened
<06605> (8799)

her womb
<07358>_.

30:23

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath taken away
<0622> (8804)

my reproach
<02781>_:

30:24

And she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Joseph
<03130>_;

and said
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

shall add
<03254> (8686)

to me another
<0312>

son
<01121>_.

{Joseph: that is, Adding}

30:25

And it came to pass, when Rachel
<07354>

had born
<03205> (8804)

Joseph
<03130>_,

that Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Laban
<03837>_,

Send me away
<07971> (8761)_,

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

unto mine own place
<04725>_,

and to my country
<0776>_.

30:26

Give
<05414> (8798)

[me] my wives
<0802>

and my children
<03206>_,

for
<02004>

whom I have served
<05647> (8804)

thee, and let me go
<03212> (8799)_:

for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

my service
<05656>

which I have done
<05647> (8804)

thee.

30:27

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

[tarry: for] I have learned by experience
<05172> (8765)

that the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8762)

me for thy sake
<01558>_.

30:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Appoint
<05344> (8798)

me thy wages
<07939>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

[it].

30:29

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

how
<0834>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

thee, and how
<0834>

thy cattle
<04735>

was with me.

30:30

For [it was] little
<04592>

which thou hadst before I
<06440>

[came], and it is [now] increased
<06555> (8799)

unto a multitude
<07230>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8762)

thee since my coming
<07272>_:

and now when
<04970>

shall I provide
<06213> (8799)

for mine own house
<01004>

also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since...: Heb. at my foot}

30:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall I give thee
<05414> (8799)_?

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)

me any thing
<03972>_:

if thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

for me, I will again
<07725> (8799)

feed
<07462> (8799)

[and] keep
<08104> (8799)

thy flock
<06629>_:

30:32

I will pass
<05674> (8799)

through all thy flock
<06629>

to day
<03117>_,

removing
<05493> (8687)

from thence all the speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)

cattle
<07716>_,

and all the brown
<02345>

cattle
<07716>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

and the spotted
<02921> (8803)

and speckled
<05348>

among the goats
<05795>_:

and [of such] shall be my hire
<07939>_.

30:33

So shall my righteousness
<06666>

answer
<06030> (8804)

for me in time
<03117>

to come
<04279>_,

when it shall come
<0935> (8799)

for my hire
<07939>

before thy face
<06440>_:

every one
<03605>

that [is] not speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)

among the goats
<05795>_,

and brown
<02345>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

that shall be counted stolen
<01589> (8803)

with me. {in time...: Heb. to morrow}

30:34

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I would it might be
<03863>

according to thy word
<01697>_.

30:35

And he removed
<05493> (8686)

that day
<03117>

the he goats
<08495>

that were ringstraked
<06124>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,

and all the she goats
<05795>

that were speckled
<05348>

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,

[and] every one that had [some] white
<03836>

in it, and all the brown
<02345>

among the sheep
<03775>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] into the hand
<03027>

of his sons
<01121>_.

30:36

And he set
<07760> (8799)

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>

betwixt himself and Jacob
<03290>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

fed
<07462> (8802)

the rest
<03498> (8737)

of Laban's
<03837>

flocks
<06629>_.

30:37

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

him rods
<04731>

of green
<03892>

poplar
<03839>_,

and of the hazel
<03869>

and chesnut tree
<06196>_;

and pilled
<06478> (8762)

white
<03836>

strakes
<06479>

in them, and made the white
<03836>

appear
<04286>

which [was] in the rods
<04731>_.

30:38

And he set
<03322> (8686)

the rods
<04731>

which he had pilled
<06478> (8765)

before
<05227>

the flocks
<06629>

in the gutters
<07298>

in the watering
<04325>

troughs
<08268>

when the flocks
<06629>

came
<0935> (8799)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

that they should conceive
<03179> (8799)

when they came
<0935> (8800)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

30:39

And the flocks
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8799)

before the rods
<04731>_,

and brought forth
<03205> (8799)

cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and spotted
<02921> (8803)_.

30:40

And Jacob
<03290>

did separate
<06504> (8689)

the lambs
<03775>_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

the faces
<06440>

of the flocks
<06629>

toward
<0413>

the ringstraked
<06124>_,

and all the brown
<02345>

in the flock
<06629>

of Laban
<03837>_;

and he put
<07896> (8799)

his own flocks
<05739>

by themselves, and put
<07896> (8804)

them not unto Laban's
<03837>

cattle
<06629>_.

30:41

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
<07194> (8794)

cattle
<06629>

did conceive
<03179> (8763)_,

that Jacob
<03290>

laid
<07760> (8804)

the rods
<04731>

before the eyes
<05869>

of the cattle
<06629>

in the gutters
<07298>_,

that they might conceive
<03179> (8763)

among the rods
<04731>_.

30:42

But when the cattle
<06629>

were feeble
<05848> (8687)_,

he put [them] not in
<07760> (8799)_:

so the feebler
<05848> (8803)

were Laban's
<03837>_,

and the stronger
<07194> (8803)

Jacob's
<03290>_.

30:43

And the man
<0376>

increased
<06555> (8799)

exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_,

and had much
<07227>

cattle
<06629>_,

and maidservants
<08198>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and camels
<01581>_,

and asses
<02543>_.
