Genesis 30:17-30
17GodH430 gaveH8085 heedH8085 to LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a fifthH2549 sonH1121. 18Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “GodH430 has givenH5414 me my 1wagesH7939 becauseH834 I gaveH5414 my maidH8198 to my husbandH376.” So she namedH7121 him IssacharH3485. 19LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 againH5750 and boreH3205 a sixthH8345 sonH1121 to JacobH3290. 20Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “GodH430 has endowedH2064 me with a goodH2896 giftH2065; nowH6471 my husbandH376 2will dwellH2082 with me, becauseH3588 I have borneH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121.” So she namedH7121 him ZebulunH2074. 21AfterwardH310 she boreH3205 a daughterH1323 and namedH7121H8034 her DinahH1783.
22Then 3GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 gaveH8085 heedH8085 to her and 4openedH6605 her wombH7358. 23So she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a sonH1121 and saidH559, “GodH430 has 5takenH622 awayH622 my reproachH2781.” 24She namedH7121H8034 him JosephH3130, sayingH559, “6May the LordH3068 7giveH3254 me anotherH312 sonH1121.”
25Now it cameH1961 about whenH3512 RachelH7354 had borneH3205 JosephH3130, that JacobH3290 saidH559 to LabanH3837, “8SendH7971 me awayH7971, that I may goH1980 to my own placeH4725 and to my own countryH776. 26GiveH5414 me my wivesH802 and my childrenH3206 9for whomH834 I have servedH5647 you, and let me departH1980; for you yourselfH859 knowH3045 my serviceH5656 whichH834 I have 10renderedH5647 you.” 27But LabanH3837 saidH559 to him, “IfH518 nowH4994 11it pleasesH4672H2580 you, stay with me; I have divinedH5172 12that the LordH3068 has blessedH1288 me on your accountH1558.” 28He 13continuedH559, “14NameH5344 me your wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it.” 29But he saidH559 to him, “15You yourselfH859 knowH3045 howH854H834 I have servedH5647 you and howH854H834 your cattleH4735 have 16faredH1961 with me. 30For you hadH1961 littleH4592 beforeH6440 17I came and it has 18increasedH6555 to a multitudeH7230, and the LordH3068 has blessedH1288 you 19wherever I turnedH7272. But nowH6258, whenH4970 shall I provideH6213 for my own householdH1004 alsoH1571?”
