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}

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

him Bilhah
<01090>

her handmaid
<08198>

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>

<01835>_.

{Dan: that is, Judging}

30:7

<03290>

<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

<03812>

saw
<07200> (8799)

she took
<03947> (8799)

Zilpah
<02153>

her maid
<08198>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her Jacob
<03290>

<03812>

<03205> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

a son
<01121>_.

30:11

And Leah
<03812>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

A troop
<01409>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_:

<08034>

<01410>_.

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

30:12

<08198>

<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)

<08034>

<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>_.
