Book 01 : GENESIS - Chapter 030
030:001
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
030:002
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
030:003
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went
in unto her
030:004
And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son
030:005
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
030:006
And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a
second son
030:007
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my
sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name
Naphtali
030:008
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her
maid, and gave her Jacob to wife
030:009
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son
030:010
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad
030:011
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son
030:012
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me
blessed: and she called his name Asher
030:013
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
030:014
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
030:015
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
030:016
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob
the fifth son
030:017
And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given
my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar
030:018
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son
030:019
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
030:020
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah
030:021
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and
opened her womb
030:022
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken
away my reproach
030:023
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add
to me another son
030:024
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
030:025
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
030:026
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
030:027
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it
030:028
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and
how thy cattle was with me
030:029
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
030:030
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
030:031
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
030:032
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when
it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is
not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the
sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me
030:033
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy
word
030:034
And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and
spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted,
and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown
among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons
030:035
And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and
Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks
030:036
And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and
chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the
white appear which was in the rods
030:037
And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in
the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to
drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink
030:038
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth
cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted
030:039
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the
flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock
of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put
them not unto Laban's cattle
030:040
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did
conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the
cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the
rods
030:041
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the
feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's
030:042
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses
