Genesis 29:1--31:55

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>_.

31:1

And he heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Laban's
<03837>

sons
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jacob
<03290>

hath taken away
<03947> (8804)

all that [was] our father's
<01>_;

and of [that] which [was] our father's
<01>

hath he gotten
<06213> (8804)

all this glory
<03519>_.

31:2

And Jacob
<03290>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the countenance
<06440>

of Laban
<03837>_,

and, behold, it [was] not toward him as
<08543>

before
<08032>_.

{as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before}

31:3

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy fathers
<01>_,

and to thy kindred
<04138>_;

and I will be with thee.

31:4

And Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

to the field
<07704>

unto his flock
<06629>_,

31:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I see
<07200> (8802)

your father's
<01>

countenance
<06440>_,

that it [is] not toward me as
<08543>

before
<08032>_;

but the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

hath been
<01961> (8804)

with me.

31:6

And ye
<0859>

know
<03045> (8804)

that with all my power
<03581>

I have served
<05647> (8804)

your father
<01>_.

31:7

And your father
<01>

hath deceived
<02048> (8765)

me, and changed
<02498> (8689)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_;

but God
<0430>

suffered him
<05414> (8804)

not to hurt
<07489> (8687)

me
<05978>_.

31:8

If he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The speckled
<05348>

shall be thy wages
<07939>_;

then all the cattle
<06629>

bare
<03205> (8804)

speckled
<05348>_:

and if he said
<0559> (8799)

thus, The ringstraked
<06124>

shall be thy hire
<07939>_;

then bare
<03205> (8804)

all the cattle
<06629>

ringstraked
<06124>_.

31:9

Thus God
<0430>

hath taken away
<05337> (8686)

the cattle
<04735>

of your father
<01>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

[them] to me.

31:10

And it came to pass at the time
<06256>

that the cattle
<06629>

conceived
<03179> (8763)_,

that I lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

in a dream
<02472>_,

and, behold, the rams
<06260>

which leaped
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[were] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_.

{rams: or, he goats}

31:11

And the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto me in a dream
<02472>_,

[saying], Jacob
<03290>_:

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

31:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

now thine eyes
<05869>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_,

all the rams
<06260>

which leap
<05927> (8802)

upon the cattle
<06629>

[are] ringstraked
<06124>_,

speckled
<05348>_,

and grisled
<01261>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

all that Laban
<03837>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

unto thee.

31:13

I [am] the God
<0410>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

where thou anointedst
<04886> (8804)

the pillar
<04676>_,

[and] where thou vowedst
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

unto me: now arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get thee out
<03318> (8798)

from this land
<0776>_,

and return
<07725> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of thy kindred
<04138>_.

31:14

And Rachel
<07354>

and Leah
<03812>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is there] yet any portion
<02506>

or inheritance
<05159>

for us in our father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

31:15

Are we not counted
<02803> (8738)

of him strangers
<05237>_?

for he hath sold
<04376> (8804)

us, and hath quite
<0398> (8800)

devoured
<0398> (8799)

also our money
<03701>_.

31:16

For all the riches
<06239>

which God
<0430>

hath taken
<05337> (8689)

from our father
<01>_,

that [is] ours, and our children's
<01121>_:

now then, whatsoever God
<0430>

hath said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, do
<06213> (8798)_.

31:17

Then Jacob
<03290>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and set
<05375> (8799)

his sons
<01121>

and his wives
<0802>

upon camels
<01581>_;

31:18

And he carried away
<05090> (8799)

all his cattle
<04735>_,

and all his goods
<07399>

which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)_,

the cattle
<04735>

of his getting
<07075>_,

which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)

in Padanaram
<06307>_,

for to go
<0935> (8800)

to Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

31:19

And Laban
<03837>

went
<01980> (8804)

to shear
<01494> (8800)

his sheep
<06629>_:

and Rachel
<07354>

had stolen
<01589> (8799)

the images
<08655>

that [were] her father's
<01>_.

{images: Heb. teraphim}

31:20

And Jacob
<03290>

stole away
<01589> (8799)

unawares
<03820>

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>_,

in that
<05921>

he told
<05046> (8689)

him not
<01097>

that he fled
<01272> (8802)_.

{unawares...: Heb. the heart of Laban}

31:21

So he fled
<01272> (8799)

with all that he had; and he rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

the river
<05104>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

his face
<06440>

[toward] the mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

31:22

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Laban
<03837>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

that Jacob
<03290>

was fled
<01272> (8804)_.

31:23

And he took
<03947> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>

with him, and pursued
<07291> (8799)

after him
<0310>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>_;

and they overtook
<01692> (8686)

him in the mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

31:24

And God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>

the Syrian
<0761>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)

that thou speak
<01696> (8762)

not to
<05973>

Jacob
<03290>

either good
<02896>

or
<05704>

bad
<07451>_.

{either...: Heb. from good to bad}

31:25

Then Laban
<03837>

overtook
<05381> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>_.

Now Jacob
<03290>

had pitched
<08628> (8804)

his tent
<0168>

in the mount
<02022>_:

and Laban
<03837>

with his brethren
<0251>

pitched
<08628> (8804)

in the mount
<02022>

of Gilead
<01568>_.

31:26

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_,

that thou hast stolen away
<01589> (8799)

unawares
<03824>

to me, and carried away
<05090> (8762)

my daughters
<01323>_,

as captives
<07617> (8803)

[taken] with the sword
<02719>_?

31:27

Wherefore didst thou flee away
<01272> (8800)

secretly
<02244> (8738)_,

and steal away
<01589> (8799)

from me; and didst not tell
<05046> (8689)

me, that I might have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)

with mirth
<08057>_,

and with songs
<07892>_,

with tabret
<08596>_,

and with harp
<03658>_?

{steal...: Heb. hast stolen me}

31:28

And hast not suffered
<05203> (8804)

me to kiss
<05401> (8763)

my sons
<01121>

and my daughters
<01323>_?

thou hast now done foolishly
<05528> (8689)

in [so] doing
<06213> (8800)_.

31:29

It is
<03426>

in the power
<0410>

of my hand
<03027>

to do
<06213> (8800)

you hurt
<07451>_:

but the God
<0430>

of your father
<01>

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto me yesternight
<0570>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take thou heed
<08104> (8734)

that thou speak not
<01696> (8763)

to Jacob
<03290>

either good
<02896>

or bad
<07451>_.

31:30

And now, [though] thou wouldest needs
<01980> (8800)

be gone
<01980> (8804)_,

because thou sore
<03700> (8736)

longedst
<03700> (8738)

after thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

[yet] wherefore hast thou stolen
<01589> (8804)

my gods
<0430>_?

31:31

And Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

Because I was afraid
<03372> (8804)_:

for I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Peradventure
<06435>

thou wouldest take by force
<01497> (8799)

thy daughters
<01323>

from me.

31:32

With whomsoever
<0834>

thou findest
<04672> (8799)

thy gods
<0430>_,

let him not live
<02421> (8799)_:

before
<05048>

our brethren
<0251>

discern
<05234> (8685)

thou what [is] thine with me, and take
<03947> (8798)

[it] to thee. For Jacob
<03290>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not that Rachel
<07354>

had stolen
<01589> (8804)

them.

31:33

And Laban
<03837>

went
<0935> (8799)

into Jacob's
<03290>

tent
<0168>_,

and into Leah's
<03812>

tent
<0168>_,

and into the two
<08147>

maidservants
<0519>_'

tents
<0168>_;

but he found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not. Then went he out
<03318> (8799)

of Leah's
<03812>

tent
<0168>_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into Rachel's
<07354>

tent
<0168>_.

31:34

Now Rachel
<07354>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

the images
<08655>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

them in the camel's
<01581>

furniture
<03733>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon them. And Laban
<03837>

searched
<04959> (8762)

all the tent
<0168>_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not. {searched: Heb. felt}

31:35

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to her father
<01>_,

Let it not displease
<02734> (8799) <05869>

my lord
<0113>

that I cannot
<03201> (8799)

rise up
<06965> (8800)

before thee
<06440>_;

for the custom
<01870>

of women
<0802>

[is] upon me. And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

not the images
<08655>_.

31:36

And Jacob
<03290>

was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and chode
<07378> (8799)

with Laban
<03837>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Laban
<03837>_,

What [is] my trespass
<06588>_?

what [is] my sin
<02403>_,

that thou hast so hotly pursued
<01814> (8804)

after me
<0310>_?

31:37

Whereas
<03588>

thou hast searched
<04959> (8765)

all my stuff
<03627>_,

what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

of all thy household
<01004>

stuff
<03627>_?

set
<07760> (8798)

[it] here
<03541>

before my brethren
<0251>

and thy brethren
<0251>_,

that they may judge
<03198> (8686)

betwixt
<0996>

us both
<08147>_.

{searched: Heb. felt}

31:38

This twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
<07353>

and thy she goats
<05795>

have not cast their young
<07921> (8765)_,

and the rams
<0352>

of thy flock
<06629>

have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)_.

31:39

That which was torn
<02966>

[of beasts] I brought
<0935> (8689)

not unto thee; I bare the loss
<02398> (8762)

of it; of my hand
<03027>

didst thou require
<01245> (8762)

it, [whether] stolen
<01589> (8803)

by day
<03117>_,

or stolen
<01589> (8803)

by night
<03915>_.

31:40

[Thus] I was; in the day
<03117>

the drought
<02721>

consumed
<0398> (8804)

me, and the frost
<07140>

by night
<03915>_;

and my sleep
<08142>

departed
<05074> (8799)

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

31:41

Thus have I been twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

in thy house
<01004>_;

I served thee
<05647> (8804)

fourteen
<0702> <06240>

years
<08141>

for thy two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

for thy cattle
<06629>_:

and thou hast changed
<02498> (8686)

my wages
<04909>

ten
<06235>

times
<04489>_.

31:42

Except
<03884>

the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the fear
<06343>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away
<07971> (8765)

now empty
<07387>_.

God
<0430>

hath seen
<07200> (8804)

mine affliction
<06040>

and the labour
<03018>

of my hands
<03709>_,

and rebuked
<03198> (8686)

[thee] yesternight
<0570>_.

31:43

And Laban
<03837>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

[These] daughters
<01323>

[are] my daughters
<01323>_,

and [these] children
<01121>

[are] my children
<01121>_,

and [these] cattle
<06629>

[are] my cattle
<06629>_,

and all that thou seest
<07200> (8802)

[is] mine: and what can I do
<06213> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto these my daughters
<01323>_,

or
<0176>

unto their children
<01121>

which they have born
<03205> (8804)_?

31:44

Now therefore come thou
<03212> (8798)_,

let us make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

I and thou; and let it be for a witness
<05707>

between me and thee.

31:45

And Jacob
<03290>

took
<03947> (8799)

a stone
<068>_,

and set it up
<07311> (8686)

[for] a pillar
<04676>_.

31:46

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Gather
<03950> (8798)

stones
<068>_;

and they took
<03947> (8799)

stones
<068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

an heap
<01530>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

there upon the heap
<01530>_.

31:47

And Laban
<03837>

called
<07121> (8799)

it Jegarsahadutha
<03026>_:

but Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8804)

it Galeed
<01567>_.

{Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}

31:48

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This heap
<01530>

[is] a witness
<05707>

between me and thee this day
<03117>_.

Therefore was the name
<08034>

of it called
<07121> (8804)

Galeed
<01567>_;

31:49

And Mizpah
<04709>_;

for
<0834>

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

The LORD
<03068>

watch
<06822> (8799)

between me and thee, when we are absent
<05641> (8735)

one
<0376>

from another
<07453>_.

{Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower}

31:50

If thou shalt afflict
<06031> (8762)

my daughters
<01323>_,

or if thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

[other] wives
<0802>

beside
<05921>

my daughters
<01323>_,

no man
<0376>

[is] with us; see
<07200> (8798)_,

God
<0430>

[is] witness
<05707>

betwixt me and thee.

31:51

And Laban
<03837>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

Behold this heap
<01530>_,

and behold [this] pillar
<04676>_,

which I have cast
<03384> (8804)

betwixt me and thee;

31:52

This heap
<01530>

[be] witness
<05707>_,

and [this] pillar
<04676>

[be] witness
<05713>_,

that I will not pass over
<05674> (8799)

this heap
<01530>

to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
<05674> (8799)

this heap
<01530>

and this pillar
<04676>

unto me, for harm
<07451>_.

31:53

The God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Nahor
<05152>_,

the God
<0430>

of their father
<01>_,

judge
<08199> (8799)

betwixt us. And Jacob
<03290>

sware
<07650> (8735)

by the fear
<06343>

of his father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>_.

31:54

Then Jacob
<03290>

offered
<02076> (8799)

sacrifice
<02077>

upon the mount
<02022>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

his brethren
<0251>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)

in the mount
<02022>_.

{offered...: or, killed beasts}

31:55

And early
<07925> (0)

in the morning
<01242>

Laban
<03837>

rose up
<07925> (8686)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8762)

his sons
<01121>

and his daughters
<01323>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

them: and Laban
<03837>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his place
<04725>_.

Psalms 73:20

73:20

As a dream
<02472>

when [one] awaketh
<06974> (8687)_;

[so], O Lord
<0136>_,

when thou awakest
<05782>_,

thou shalt despise
<0959> (8799)

their image
<06754>_.

Luke 16:25

16:25

But
<1161>

Abraham
<11>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Son
<5043>_,

remember
<3415> (5682)

that
<3754>

thou
<4771>

in
<1722>

thy
<4675>

lifetime
<2222>

receivedst
<618> (5627)

thy
<4675>

good things
<18>_,

and
<2532>

likewise
<3668>

Lazarus
<2976>

evil things
<2556>_:

but
<1161>

now
<3568> <3592>

he is comforted
<3870> (5743)_,

and
<1161>

thou
<4771>

art tormented
<3600> (5743)_.
