Genesis 30:17-30

17And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son. 18And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.1 19And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son. 20And Leah said, God hath bestowed on me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.2 21And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.3 22And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 23And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 24And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.4

25And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country. 26Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. 27And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. 28And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it . 29And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were with me. 30For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased to a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my own house also?56
