Genesis 30:1-23

1When RachelH7354 sawH7200 thatH3588 she was notH3808 bearingH3205 any childrenH7354 for JacobH3290, she enviedH7065 her sisterH269. “GiveH3051 me childrenH1121, orH518H369 IH595 will dieH4191!” she saidH559 toH413 JacobH3290.

2JacobH3290 became angryH2734H639 with RachelH7354 and saidH559, “Am IH595 in the placeH8478 of GodH430, whoH834 has withheldH4513 childrenH6529H990 from youH4480?”

3Then she saidH559, “HereH2009 is my maidservantH519 BilhahH1090. Sleep withH935 herH413, that she may bear childrenH3205 for me,1 so that through herH4480 IH595 tooH1571 can build a familyH1129.”

4So Rachel gaveH5414 Jacob her servantH8198 BilhahH1090 as a wifeH802, andH3290 he slept withH935 herH413, 5and BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 him a sonH1121. 6Then RachelH7354 saidH559, “GodH430 has vindicated meH1777; He has heardH8085 my pleaH6963 and givenH5414 me a sonH1121H5921H3651.” So she named himH7121H8034 DanH1835.2

7And Rachel’sH7354 servantH8198 BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029 againH5750 and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121. 8Then RachelH7354 saidH559, “In my great strugglesH5319H430, I have wrestledH6617 withH5973 my sisterH269 andH1571 wonH3201.” So she namedH7121 himH8034 NaphtaliH5321.3

9When LeahH3812 sawH7200 thatH3588 she had stoppedH5975 having childrenH3205, she gaveH3947H5414 her servantH8198 ZilpahH2153 to JacobH3290 as a wifeH802. 10And Leah’sH3812 servantH8198 ZilpahH2153 boreH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121. 11Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “How fortunateH935!”4 So she namedH7121 himH8034 GadH1410.5

12When Leah’sH3812 servantH8198 ZilpahH2153 boreH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121, 13LeahH3812 saidH559, “How happy I amH837! ForH3588 the womenH1323 call me happyH833.” So she namedH7121 himH8034 AsherH836.6

14Now during the wheatH2406 harvestH7105, ReubenH7205H3117 went outH1980 and foundH4672 some mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704. When he broughtH935 themH853 toH413 his motherH517, RachelH7354 beggedH559H413 LeahH3812, “PleaseH4994 give meH5414 some of your son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.”

15But Leah repliedH559, “Is it not enoughH4592 that you have taken awayH3947 my husbandH376? Now youH1571 want to takeH3947 my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736 as well?”

“Very wellH3651,” saidH559 RachelH7354, “he may sleepH7901 with youH5973 tonightH3915 in exchange forH8478 your son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.”

16When JacobH3290 came inH935 fromH4480 the fieldH7704 that eveningH6153, LeahH3812 went outH3318 to meet himH7122 and saidH559, “You must comeH935 with meH413, forH3588 I have hired youH7936 with my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.” So he sleptH7901 with herH5973 thatH1931 nightH3915.

17And GodH430 listenedH8085 toH413 LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a fifthH2549 sonH1121 to JacobH3290. 18Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “GodH430 has rewarded meH5414H7939 forH834 givingH5414 my maidservantH8198 to my husbandH376.” So she named himH7121H8034 IssacharH3485.7

19AgainH5750 LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a sixthH8345 sonH1121 to JacobH3290. 20“GodH430 has given meH2064 a goodH2896 giftH2065,” she saidH559. “This timeH6471 my husbandH376 will honor meH2082, becauseH3588 I have borneH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121.” And she namedH7121 himH8034 ZebulunH2074.8

21After thatH310, Leah gave birth toH3205 a daughterH1323 and namedH7121 herH8034 DinahH1783.

22Then GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354. HeH430 listenedH8085 to herH413 and openedH6605 her wombH7358, 23and she conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121. “GodH430 has taken awayH622 my shameH2781,” she saidH559.
