Genesis 30:17-30

17God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18Then Leah said, “God has given me my 1reward, because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named him Issachar. 19And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 20Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift; finally my husband 2will acknowledge me as his wife, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun. 21Afterward she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22Then 3God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and 4opened her womb. 23So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and said, “God has 5taken away my disgrace.” 24And she named him Joseph, saying, “6May the Lord 7give me another son.”

25Now it came about, when Rachel had given birth to Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “8Send me away, so that I may go to my own place and to my own country. 26Give me my wives and my children 9for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you yourself know my service which I have 10rendered you.” 27But Laban said to him, “If 11it pleases you at all, stay with me; I have determined by divination 12that the Lord has blessed me on your account.” 28He 13continued, “14Name me your wages, and I will give them.” 29But Jacob said to him, “15You yourself know how I have served you and how your livestock have 16fared with me. 30For you had little before 17I came, and it has 18increased to a multitude, and the Lord has blessed you 19wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household also?”
