Genesis 30

¹ And seeing is Rachel that she does not bear for Jacob. And jealous is Rachel of her sister. And saying is she to Jacob, "Grant me sons! And, should there be none, I will die." ² And hot is the anger of Jacob against Rachel. And saying is he to her, "In Elohim's stead am I, Who withholds from you the fruit of the belly?" ³ And saying is Rachel to Jacob, "Behold my maidservant Bilhah. Come to her and bear shall she on my knees, and I, moreover, will be built by her." ⁴ And giving him is she Bilhah, her maid, for a wife. And coming is Jacob to her. ⁵ And pregnant is Rachel's maid, Bilhah, and is bearing for Jacob a son. ⁶ And saying is Rachel, "Adjudicated has the Elohim for me, and, moreover, He hears my voice, and is giving to me a son." Therefore she calls his name Dan. ⁷ And pregnant is she again, and bearing is Bilhah, Rachel's maid, a second son for Jacob. ⁸ And saying is Rachel, "With twistings of the Elohim am I twisted with my sister, and moreover, I prevail." And calling is she his name Naphtali. ⁹ And seeing is Leah that she stays from bearing. And taking is she Zilpah, her maid, and is giving her to Jacob for a wife. And coming is Jacob to her, ¹⁰ and Zilpah, Leah's maid, is pregnant and bearing for Jacob a son. ¹¹ And saying is Leah, "Coming is a raid!" And calling is she his name Gad. ¹² And pregnant is Zilpah, Leah's maid, and is bearing a second son for Jacob. ¹³ And saying is Leah "Happiness is mine, for the daughters call me happy." And calling is she his name Ashur. ¹⁴ And going is Reuben in the days of wheat harvest and finding mandrakes in the field, and is bringing them to his mother, Leah. And saying is Rachel to Leah, her sister, "Give to me, pray, of your son's mandrakes." ¹⁵ And saying is Leah to her, "No! Is it little of you to take my husband, then to take, moreover, my son's mandrakes?" And saying is Rachel, "Not so! He shall lie with you this night, for your son's mandrakes." ¹⁶ And coming is Jacob from the field in the evening, and forth is faring Leah to meet him. And saying is she, "To me are you coming tonight, for I hired, yea, hired you with my son's mandrakes." And lying is he with her in that night. ¹⁷ And hearkening is the Elohim to Leah, and pregnant is she and is bearing for Jacob a fifth son. ¹⁸ And saying is Leah, "Giving is the Elohim my hire, for I give my maid to my husband." And calling is she his name Issachar. ¹⁹ And pregnant again is Leah, and is bearing a sixth son for Jacob. ²⁰ And saying is Leah, "Dowering me is the Elohim with a good dowry this time. My husband will prefer me, for I bear for him six sons." And calling is she his name Zebulon. ²¹ And afterwards she bears a daughter. And calling is she her name Dinah. ²² And remembering is the Elohim Rachel and hearkening to her is the Elohim and opening her womb. ²³ And pregnant is she and bearing for Jacob a son. And saying is Rachel, "The Elohim gathers up my reproach." ²⁴ And calling is she his name Joseph saying, "Adding is Yahweh to me another son." ²⁵ And coming is it, as Rachel bears Joseph, then saying is Jacob to Laban, "Send me, and I will go to my place and to my clan. ²⁶ Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and go will I, for you know my service with which I have served you." ²⁷ And saying to him is Laban, "If, pray, I find grace in your eyes! I augur that Yahweh's blessing me is due to your coming." ²⁸ And saying is he, "Specify your hire to me, and I will give it." ²⁹ And saying is Jacob to him, "You know how I have served you, and what becomes of your cattle with me. ³⁰ For little was that which came to be yours before, and breaching is it into much. And blessing you is Yahweh, at my footsteps. Yet now, when shall I do something, moreover I, for my own household?" ³¹ And saying to him is Laban, "What shall I give to you?" And saying is Jacob, "Naught shall you give me. If you will do for me this thing, I will return: Graze will I your flock and keep it, ³² pass will I among all your flock today to take away thence every speckled and flecked flockling, also every brown flockling among the sheep, and all the flecked and speckled among the goats, and it becomes my hire. ³³ And responding is my righteousness for me, on the morrow day, for on account of my hire shall it come before you. Every one in which there is no speck and fleck among the goats, and brown among the sheep, stolen is it if with me." ³⁴ And saying to him is Laban, "Behold! O that it shall come according to your word!" ³⁵ And taking away is he in that day the striped and the flecked bucks, and all the speckled and the flecked she-goats, and everyone which has white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and giving them is he into the hands of his sons. ³⁶ And placing is he a way of three days between them and Jacob's. And Jacob is grazing the flock of Laban, what is left. ³⁷ And taking is Jacob for himself sticks of smooth white poplar and of hazel and of the plane tree, and is peeling in them white peelings, baring the white which is on the sticks. ³⁸ And putting is he the sticks which he peeled in the troughs, in the drinking water, to which the flocks are coming to drink opposite the flocks. And warm with desire are they at the sticks when they come to drink. ³⁹ And warm with desire are the flocks at the sticks, and are bearing small cattle, striped, speckled, and flecked. ⁴⁰ And the sheep Jacob parts, and he puts the faces of the flocks towards the striped and all the brown among Laban's flock. And he is setting his own droves alone, and does not set them with Laban's flock. ⁴¹ And it comes, in every season of warming with desire of the sinewy of the flock, then Jacob places the sticks before the eyes of the flock, in the troughs, for them to warm with desire among the sticks. ⁴² Yet with the drooping ones of the flock he is not placing them. And the drooping became Laban's and the sinewy Jacob's. ⁴³ And breaching is the man exceeding exceedingly, and coming is he to have many small cattle and herds and maids and servants and camels and asses.
