Revised Version 1895

1And when RachelH7354 sawH7200 that sheH3588 bare JacobH3290 noH3808 childrenH1121, RachelH7354 enviedH7065 herH413 sisterH269; and sheH3588 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, GiveH3051 meH413 childrenH1121, or elseH3808 I dieH4191. 2And Jacob’sH3290 angerH639 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 RachelH7354: and he saidH559, Am I in God’sH430 steadH8478, who hath withheldH4513 from thee the fruitH6529 of the wombH990? 3And sheH1571 saidH559, BeholdH2009 my maidH519 BilhahH1090, goH935 in unto herH413; that sheH1571 may bearH3205 uponH5921 my kneesH1290, and I also may obtainH1129 childrenH3205 by herH413. 4And she gaveH5414 him BilhahH1090 herH413 handmaid to wifeH802: and JacobH3290 wentH935 in unto herH413. 5And BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029, and bare JacobH3290 a sonH1121. 6And RachelH7354 saidH559, GodH430 hath judged meH5414, and hath also heardH8085 my voiceH6963, and hath givenH5414 meH5414 a sonH1121: therefore calledH7121 sheH7121 his nameH8034 DanH1835. 7And BilhahH1090 Rachel’sH7354 handmaid conceivedH2029 againH5750, and bare JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121. 8And RachelH7354 saidH559, With mightyH430 wrestlingsH5319 have I wrestledH6617 with my sisterH269, and have prevailedH3201: and sheH7121 calledH7121 his nameH8034 NaphtaliH5321. 9When LeahH3812 sawH7200 that sheH3588 had leftH5414 bearingH3205, sheH3588 tookH3947 ZilpahH2153 herH3947 handmaid, and gaveH5414 herH3947 to JacobH3290 to wifeH802. 10And ZilpahH2153 Leah’sH3812 handmaid bare JacobH3290 a sonH1121. 11And LeahH3812 saidH559, FortunateH1409! and sheH7121 calledH7121 his nameH8034 GadH1410. 12And ZilpahH2153 Leah’sH3812 handmaid bare JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121. 13And LeahH3812 saidH559, HappyH833 am I! for the daughtersH1323 will callH7121 meH7121 happyH833: and sheH3588 calledH7121 his nameH8034 AsherH836. 14And ReubenH7205 wentH935 in the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them unto his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, GiveH5414 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, of thy son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. 15And sheH7901 saidH559 unto herH3947, Is it a smallH4592 matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 awayH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou takeH3947 awayH3947 my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to-night for thy son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. 16And JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thou mustH1121 comeH935 in unto meH413; for I have surelyH3588 hiredH7936 thee with my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. And he layH7901 with herH413 that nightH3915. 17And GodH430 hearkened unto LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and bare JacobH3290 a fifthH2549 sonH1121. 18And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 meH5414 my hireH7939, becauseH834 I gaveH5414 my handmaid to my husbandH376: and sheH834 calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485. 19And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 againH5750, and bare a sixthH8345 sonH1121 to JacobH3290. 20And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath endowedH2064 meH7121 with a goodH2896 dowry; nowH6471 will my husbandH376 dwellH2082 with meH7121, becauseH3588 I have borneH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121: and sheH3588 calledH7121 his nameH8034 ZebulunH2074. 21And afterwardsH310 sheH7121 bare a daughterH1323, and calledH7121 herH7121 nameH8034 DinahH1783. 22And GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 hearkened to herH413, and openedH6605 herH413 wombH7358. 23And she conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121: and saidH559, GodH430 hath takenH622 awayH622 my reproachH2781: 24and sheH7121 calledH7121 his nameH8034 JosephH3130, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 addH3254 to meH7121 anotherH312 sonH1121. 25And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when RachelH7354 had borneH3205 JosephH3130, that JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, SendH7971 meH413 awayH7971, that I may goH7971 unto mine ownH1961 placeH4725, and to my countryH776. 26GiveH5414 meH5414 my wivesH802 and my childrenH3206 for whomH834 I have servedH5647 thee, and letH5414 meH5414 go: for thou knowest my serviceH5656 wherewith I have servedH5647 thee. 27And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto him, IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, tarry: for I have divinedH5172 that the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 meH413 for thy sake. 28And he saidH559, AppointH5414 meH5414 thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it. 29And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowest howH834 I have servedH5647 thee, and howH834 thy cattleH4735 hath faredH1961 with meH413. 30For it was littleH4592 whichH834 thou hadst beforeH6440 I cameH1961, and it hath increasedH6555 unto a multitudeH7230; and the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 thee whithersoever I turnedH1961: and nowH6258 when shall I provideH6213 for mine ownH1961 houseH1004 also? 31And he saidH559, WhatH4100 shall I giveH5414 thee? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt notH3808 giveH5414 meH5414 aught: ifH518 thou wilt doH6213 this thingH1697 for meH5414, I will againH7725 feedH7462 thy flockH6629 and keepH8104 it. 32I will passH5674 throughH5674 allH3605 thy flockH6629 todayH3117, removingH5493 from thence everyH3605 speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 one, and everyH3605 blackH2345 one among the sheepH6629, and the spottedH2921 and speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795: and of suchH3605 shall be my hireH7939. 33SoH834 shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for meH6440 hereafter, when thou shalt comeH935 concerning my hireH7939 that is beforeH6440 thee: everyH3605 one that is notH369 speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795, and blackH2345 among the sheepH3775, that ifH3588 foundH369 with meH6440 shall be counted stolenH1589. 34And LabanH3837 saidH559, BeholdH2005, I would it might be according to thy wordH1697. 35And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he-goats that were ringstraked and spottedH2921, and allH3605 the she-goats that were speckledH5348 and spottedH2921, everyH3605 one that had whiteH3836 in it, and allH3605 the blackH2345 onesH1121 among the sheepH3775, and gaveH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of his sonsH1121; 36and he setH7760 threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himselfH3117 and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fed the restH3498 of Laban’s flocksH6629. 37And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rodsH4731 of freshH3892 poplarH3839, and of the almondH3869 and of the planeH6196 tree; and peeledH6478 whiteH3836 strakes in them, and madeH834 the whiteH3836 appear whichH834 was in the rodsH4731. 38And he setH935 the rodsH4731 whichH834 he had peeledH6478 over againstH935 the flocksH6629 in the gutters in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 whereH834 the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354; and they conceivedH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354. 39And the flocksH6629 conceivedH3179 beforeH413 the rodsH4731, and the flocksH6629 broughtH3205 forthH3205 ringstraked, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921. 40And JacobH3290 separatedH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 towardH413 the ringstraked and allH3605 the blackH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH5414 his ownH6440 drovesH5739 apartH905, and putH5414 them notH3808 unto Laban’s flockH6629. 41And it cameH1961 to passH1961, whensoever the strongerH7194 of the flockH6629 did conceive, that JacobH3290 laidH7760 the rodsH4731 beforeH5869 the eyesH5869 of the flockH6629 in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rodsH4731; 42but when the flockH6629 were feeble, he putH7760 them notH3808 in: soH1961 the feebler were Laban’s, and the strongerH7194 Jacob’sH3290. 43And the manH376 increasedH6555 exceedinglyH3966, and had largeH7227 flocksH6629, and maidservantsH8198 and menservants, and camelsH1581 and asses.
