He lay with her that night. 030:017 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son. 030:018 Leah said, "God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband." She named him Issachar. 030:019 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 030:020 Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun. 030:021 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah. 030:022 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb. 030:023 She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach." 030:024 She named him Joseph,{Joseph means "may he add."} saying, "May Yahweh add another son to me." 030:025 It happened, 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. 030:026 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you." 030:027 Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake." 030:028 He said, "Appoint me your wages, and I will give it." 030:029 He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me. 030:030 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. |
