thou beguiled me?
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before
the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve
with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his
daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet
seven other years.
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel
was barren.
32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said,
Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33 And she
conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath
therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and
bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three
sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said,
Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
Gen.30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob,
Give me children, or else I die.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in
God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah,
go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees that I may also have children by her.
4 And she gave
him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob
a son.
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a
son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a
second son.
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and
she called his name Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid,
and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 And Leah said, A troop
cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 And Leah
said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 And Reuben
went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother
Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 And she said unto
her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes
also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 And Jacob
came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto
me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 And God
hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 And Leah said, God hath
given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with
a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his
name Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22 And God remembered
Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and
said, God hath taken away my reproach:
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall
add to me another son.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto
Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26 Give me my wives
and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have
done thee.
27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have
learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 And he said, Appoint me thy
wages, and I will give it.
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy
cattle was with me.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a
multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine
own house also?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any
thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
32 I will pass through all thy
flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among
the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
33 So shall my
righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one
