30:1 And when Rachel 7354 saw 7200 8799 that she bare 3205 8804 Jacob 3290 no children, Rachel 7354 envied 7065 8762 her sister 269; and said 559 8799 unto Jacob 3290, Give 3051 8798 me children 1121, or else 369 I die 4191 8801.

30:2 And Jacob's 3290 anger 639 was kindled 2734 8799 against Rachel 7354: and he said 559 8799, [Am] I in God's 430 stead, who hath withheld 4513 8804 from thee the fruit 6529 of the womb 990?

30:3 And she said 559 8799, Behold my maid 519 Bilhah 1090, go in 935 8798 unto her; and she shall bear 3205 8799 upon my knees 1290, that I may also have children 1129 8735 by her.(have…: Heb. be built by her)

30:4 And she gave 5414 8799 him Bilhah 1090 her handmaid 8198 to wife 802: and Jacob 3290 went in 935 8799 unto her.

30:5 And Bilhah 1090 conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 Jacob 3290 a son 1121.

30:6 And Rachel 7354 said 559 8799, God 430 hath judged 1777 8804 me, and hath also heard 8085 8804 my voice 6963, and hath given 5414 8799 me a son 1121: therefore called 7121 8804 she his name 8034 Dan 1835.(Dan: that is, Judging)

30:7 And Bilhah 1090 Rachel's 7354 maid 8198 conceived 2029 8799 again, and bare 3205 8799 Jacob 3290 a second 8145 son 1121.

30:8 And Rachel 7354 said 559 8799, With great 430 wrestlings 5319 have I wrestled 6617 8738 with my sister 269, and I have prevailed 3201 8804: and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Naphtali 5321.(great…: Heb. wrestlings of God)(Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim)

30:9 When Leah 3812 saw 7200 8799 that she had left 5975 8804 bearing 3205 8800, she took 3947 8799 Zilpah 2153 her maid 8198, and gave 5414 8799 her Jacob 3290 to wife 802.

30:10 And Zilpah 2153 Leah's 3812 maid 8198 bare 3205 8799 Jacob 3290 a son 1121.

30:11 And Leah 3812 said 559 8799, A troop 1409 cometh 935 8804: and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Gad 1410.(Gad: that is, A troop, or, company)

30:12 And Zilpah 2153 Leah's 3812 maid 8198 bare 3205 8799 Jacob 3290 a second 8145 son 1121.

30:13 And Leah 3812 said 559 8799, Happy am I 837, for the daughters 1323 will call me blessed 833 8765: and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Asher 836.(Happy…: Heb. In my happiness)(Asher: that is, Happy)

30:14 And Reuben 7205 went in 3212 8799 the days 3117 of wheat 2406 harvest 7105, and found 4672 8799 mandrakes 1736 in the field 7704, and brought 935 8686 them unto his mother 517 Leah 3812. Then Rachel 7354 said 559 8799 to Leah 3812, Give me 5414 8798, I pray thee, of thy son's 1121 mandrakes 1736.

30:15 And she said 559 8799 unto her, [Is it] a small matter 4592 that thou hast taken 3947 8800 my husband 376? and wouldest thou take away 3947 8800 my son's 1121 mandrakes 1736 also? And Rachel 7354 said 559 8799, Therefore he shall lie 7901 8799 with thee to night 3915 for 8478 thy son's 1121 mandrakes 1736.

30:16 And Jacob 3290 came 935 8799 out of the field 7704 in the evening 6153, and Leah 3812 went out 3318 8799 to meet 7125 8800 him, and said 559 8799, Thou must come in 935 8799 unto me; for surely 7936 8800 I have hired 7936 8804 thee with my son's 1121 mandrakes 1736. And he lay 7901 8799 with her that night 3915.

30:17 And God 430 hearkened 8085 8799 unto Leah 3812, and she conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 Jacob 3290 the fifth 2549 son 1121.

30:18 And Leah 3812 said 559 8799, God 430 hath given 5414 8804 me my hire 7939, because 834 I have given 5414 8804 my maiden 8198 to my husband 376: and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Issachar 3485.(Issachar: that is, An hire)

30:19 And Leah 3812 conceived 2029 8799 again, and bare 3205 8799 Jacob 3290 the sixth 8345 son 1121.

30:20 And Leah 3812 said 559 8799, God 430 hath endued 2064 8804 me [with] a good 2896 dowry 2065; now 6471 will my husband 376 dwell 2082 8799 with me, because I have born 3205 8804 him six 8337 sons 1121: and she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Zebulun 2074.(Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon)

30:21 And afterwards 310 she bare 3205 8804 a daughter 1323, and called 7121 8799 her name 8034 Dinah 1783.(Dinah: that is Judgment)

30:22 And God 430 remembered 2142 8799 Rachel 7354, and God 430 hearkened 8085 8799 to her, and opened 6605 8799 her womb 7358.

30:23 And she conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 a son 1121; and said 559 8799, God 430 hath taken away 622 8804 my reproach 2781:

30:24 And she called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Joseph 3130; and said 559 8800, The LORD 3068 shall add 3254 8686 to me another 312 son 1121.(Joseph: that is, Adding)

30:25 And it came to pass, when Rachel 7354 had born 3205 8804 Joseph 3130, that Jacob 3290 said 559 8799 unto Laban 3837, Send me away 7971 8761, that I may go 3212 8799 unto mine own place 4725, and to my country 776.

30:26 Give 5414 8798 [me] my wives 802 and my children 3206, for 2004 whom I have served 5647 8804 thee, and let me go 3212 8799: for thou knowest 3045 8804 my service 5656 which I have done 5647 8804 thee.

30:27 And Laban 3837 said 559 8799 unto him, I pray thee, if I have found 4672 8804 favour 2580 in thine eyes 5869, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience 5172 8765 that the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 8762 me for thy sake 1558.

30:28 And he said 559 8799, Appoint 5344 8798 me thy wages 7939, and I will give 5414 8799 [it].

30:29 And he said 559 8799 unto him, Thou knowest 3045 8804 how 834 I have served 5647 8804 thee, and how 834 thy cattle 4735 was with me.

30:30 For [it was] little 4592 which thou hadst before I 6440 [came], and it is [now] increased 6555 8799 unto a multitude 7230; and the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 8762 thee since my coming 7272: and now when 4970 shall I provide 6213 8799 for mine own house 1004 also?(increased: Heb. broken forth)(since…: Heb. at my foot)

30:31 And he said 559 8799, What shall I give thee 5414 8799? And Jacob 3290 said 559 8799, Thou shalt not give 5414 8799 me any thing 3972: if thou wilt do 6213 8799 this thing 1697 for me, I will again 7725 8799 feed 7462 8799 [and] keep 8104 8799 thy flock 6629:

30:32 I will pass 5674 8799 through all thy flock 6629 to day 3117, removing 5493 8687 from thence all the speckled 5348 and spotted 2921 8803 cattle 7716, and all the brown 2345 cattle 7716 among the sheep 3775, and the spotted 2921 8803 and speckled 5348 among the goats 5795: and [of such] shall be my hire 7939.

30:33 So shall my righteousness 6666 answer 6030 8804 for me in time 3117 to come 4279, when it shall come 935 8799 for my hire 7939 before thy face 6440: every one 3605 that [is] not speckled 5348 and spotted 2921 8803 among the goats 5795, and brown 2345 among the sheep 3775, that shall be counted stolen 1589 8803 with me.(in time…: Heb. to morrow)

30:34 And Laban 3837 said 559 8799, Behold, I would it might be 3863 according to thy word 1697.

30:35 And he removed 5493 8686 that day 3117 the he goats 8495 that were ringstraked 6124 and spotted 2921 8803, and all the she goats 5795 that were speckled 5348 and spotted 2921 8803, [and] every one that had [some] white 3836 in it, and all the brown 2345 among the sheep 3775, and gave 5414 8799 [them] into the hand 3027 of his sons 1121.

30:36 And he set 7760 8799 three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870 betwixt himself and Jacob 3290: and Jacob 3290 fed 7462 8802 the rest 3498 8737 of Laban's 3837 flocks 6629.

30:37 And Jacob 3290 took 3947 8799 him rods 4731 of green 3892 poplar 3839, and of the hazel 3869 and chesnut tree 6196; and pilled 6478 8762 white 3836 strakes 6479 in them, and made the white 3836 appear 4286 which [was] in the rods 4731.

30:38 And he set 3322 8686 the rods 4731 which he had pilled 6478 8765 before 5227 the flocks 6629 in the gutters 7298 in the watering 4325 troughs 8268 when the flocks 6629 came 935 8799 to drink 8354 8800, that they should conceive 3179 8799 when they came 935 8800 to drink 8354 8800.

30:39 And the flocks 6629 conceived 3179 8799 before the rods 4731, and brought forth 3205 8799 cattle 6629 ringstraked 6124, speckled 5348, and spotted 2921 8803.

30:40 And Jacob 3290 did separate 6504 8689 the lambs 3775, and set 5414 8799 the faces 6440 of the flocks 6629 toward 413 the ringstraked 6124, and all the brown 2345 in the flock 6629 of Laban 3837; and he put 7896 8799 his own flocks 5739 by themselves, and put 7896 8804 them not unto Laban's 3837 cattle 6629.

30:41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger 7194 8794 cattle 6629 did conceive 3179 8763, that Jacob 3290 laid 7760 8804 the rods 4731 before the eyes 5869 of the cattle 6629 in the gutters 7298, that they might conceive 3179 8763 among the rods 4731.

30:42 But when the cattle 6629 were feeble 5848 8687, he put [them] not in 7760 8799: so the feebler 5848 8803 were Laban's 3837, and the stronger 7194 8803 Jacob's 3290.

30:43 And the man 376 increased 6555 8799 exceedingly 3966 3966, and had much 7227 cattle 6629, and maidservants 8198, and menservants 5650, and camels 1581, and asses 2543.
