Genesis 29:10-35

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}
