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.

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?
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.

And she gave
him Bilhah

to wife:
and Jacob
went in
unto her.
And Bilhah
conceived,
and bare
Jacob
a son.
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.
And Bilhah
Rachel's
maid
conceived
again, and bare
Jacob
a second
son.
And Rachel
said,
With great
wrestlings
have I wrestled
with my sister,
and I have prevailed:
and she called
his name
Naphtali.
When Leah
saw
that she had left
bearing,
she took
Zilpah
her maid,
and gave
her Jacob
to wife.
And Zilpah
Leah's
maid
bare
Jacob
a son.
And Leah
said,
A troop
cometh:
and she called
his name
Gad.
And Zilpah
Leah's
maid
bare
Jacob
a second
son.
And Leah
said,
Happy am I,
for the daughters
will call me blessed:
and she called
his name
Asher.
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.

And she said
unto her, Is it a small matter
that thou hast taken

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.

And Jacob

out of the field
in the evening,
and Leah

to meet
him, and said,
Thou must come in

I have hired
thee with my son's
mandrakes.
And he lay

And God

God

I have given

And Leah
said,
God

me with a good

now

dwell
with me, because I have born
him six
sons:

And afterwards
she bare
a daughter,
and called

And God
remembered
Rachel,
and God
hearkened
to her, and opened
her womb.
And she conceived,
and bare
a son;
and said,
God
hath taken away
my reproach:
And she called
his name
Joseph;
and said,
The LORD
shall add
to me another
son.
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,

thee.
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.
And he said,
Appoint
me thy wages,
and I will give
it.
And he said
unto him, Thou knowest
how
I have served
thee, and how
thy cattle
was with me.
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?
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:

Laban

I will pass
through all thy flock

among the goats:
and of such shall be my hire.
