Then JacobH3290 went onH5375 his journeyH7272, and cameH3212 into the landH776 of the peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. {went…: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And he lookedH7200, and behold a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, there were threeH7969 flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 lyingH7257 by it; for out of that wellH875 they wateredH8248 the flocksH5739: and a greatH1419 stoneH68 was upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310.
And thither were all the flocksH5739 gatheredH622: and they rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the sheepH6629, and putH7725 the stoneH68 againH7725 upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310 in his placeH4725.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto them, My brethrenH251, whenceH370 be ye? And they saidH559, Of HaranH2771 are we.
And he saidH559 unto them, KnowH3045 ye LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of NahorH5152? And they saidH559, We knowH3045 him.
And he saidH559 unto them, Is he wellH7965? And they saidH559, He is wellH7965: and, behold, RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 comethH935 with the sheepH6629. {Is he…: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
And he saidH559, LoH2005, it is yet highH1419 dayH3117, neither is it timeH6256 that the cattleH4735 should be gathered togetherH622: waterH8248 ye the sheepH6629, and goH3212 and feedH7462 them. {it is…: Heb. yet the day is great}
And they saidH559, We cannotH3201, until all the flocksH5739 be gathered togetherH622, and till they rollH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310; then we waterH8248 the sheepH6629.
And while he yetH5750 spakeH1696 with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 with her father'sH1 sheepH6629: for she kept themH7462.
And it came to pass, when JacobH3290 sawH7200 RachelH7354 the daughterH1323 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, and the sheepH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, that JacobH3290 went nearH5066, and rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251.
And JacobH3290 kissedH5401 RachelH7354, and lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And JacobH3290 toldH5046 RachelH7354 that he was her father'sH1 brotherH251, and that he was Rebekah'sH7259 sonH1121: and she ranH7323 and toldH5046 her fatherH1.
And it came to pass, when LabanH3837 heardH8085 the tidingsH8088 of JacobH3290 his sister'sH269 sonH1121, that he ranH7323 to meetH7125 him, and embracedH2263 him, and kissedH5401 him, and broughtH935 him to his houseH1004. And he toldH5608 LabanH3837 all these thingsH1697. {tidings: Heb. hearing}
And LabanH3837 saidH559 to him, SurelyH389 thou art my boneH6106 and my fleshH1320. And he abodeH3427 with him the spaceH3117 of a monthH2320. {the space…: Heb. a month of days}
And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Because thou art my brotherH251, shouldest thou therefore serveH5647 me for noughtH2600? tellH5046 me, what shall thy wagesH4909 be?
And LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323: the nameH8034 of the elderH1419 was LeahH3812, and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 was RachelH7354.
LeahH3812 was tenderH7390 eyedH5869; but RachelH7354 was beautifulH3303+H8389 and wellH3303 favouredH4758.
And JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354; and saidH559, I will serveH5647 thee sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354 thy youngerH6996 daughterH1323.
And LabanH3837 saidH559, It is betterH2896 that I giveH5414 her to thee, than that I should giveH5414 her to anotherH312 manH376: abideH3427 with me.
And JacobH3290 servedH5647 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354; and they seemedH5869 unto him but a fewH259 daysH3117, for the love he hadH160 to her.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, GiveH3051 me my wifeH802, for my daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390, that I may go inH935 unto her.
And LabanH3837 gathered togetherH622 all the menH582 of the placeH4725, and madeH6213 a feastH4960.
And it came to pass in the eveningH6153, that he tookH3947 LeahH3812 his daughterH1323, and broughtH935 her to him; and he went inH935 unto her.
And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 unto his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 ZilpahH2153 his maidH8198 for an handmaidH8198.
And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242, behold, it was LeahH3812: and he saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is this thou hast doneH6213 unto me? did not I serveH5647 with thee for RachelH7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiledH7411 me?
And LabanH3837 saidH559, It must not be so doneH6213 in our countryH4725, to giveH5414 the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067. {country: Heb. place}
FulfilH4390 herH2063 weekH7620, and we will giveH5414 thee this also for the serviceH5656 which thou shalt serveH5647 with me yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And JacobH3290 didH6213 so, and fulfilledH4390 her weekH7620: and he gaveH5414 him RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802 also.
And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 to RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 BilhahH1090 his handmaidH8198 to be her maidH8198.
And he went inH935 also unto RachelH7354, and he lovedH157 also RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812, and servedH5647 with him yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that LeahH3812 was hatedH8130, he openedH6605 her wombH7358: but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135.
And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121, and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ReubenH7205: forH3588 she saidH559, SurelyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath lookedH7200 upon my afflictionH6040; now thereforeH3588 my husbandH376 will loveH157 me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 that I was hatedH8130, he hath therefore givenH5414 me this son also: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 SimeonH8095. {Simeon: that is, Hearing}
And she conceived againH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Now this timeH6471 will my husbandH376 be joinedH3867 unto me, because I have bornH3205 him threeH7969 sonsH1121: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 LeviH3878. {Levi: that is, Joined}
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121: and she saidH559, NowH6471 will I praiseH3034 the LORDH3068: therefore she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JudahH3063; and leftH5975 bearingH3205. {Judah: that is, Praise} {left…: Heb. stood from bearing}
And when RachelH7354 sawH7200 that she bareH3205 JacobH3290 no children, RachelH7354 enviedH7065 her sisterH269; and saidH559 unto JacobH3290, GiveH3051 me childrenH1121, or elseH369 I dieH4191.
And Jacob'sH3290 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against RachelH7354: and he saidH559, Am I in God'sH430 stead, who hath withheldH4513 from thee the fruitH6529 of the wombH990?
And she saidH559, Behold my maidH519 BilhahH1090, go inH935 unto her; and she shall bearH3205 upon my kneesH1290, that I may also have childrenH1129 by her. {have…: Heb. be built by her}
And she gaveH5414 him BilhahH1090 her handmaidH8198 to wifeH802: and JacobH3290 went inH935 unto her.
And BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.
And RachelH7354 saidH559, GodH430 hath judgedH1777 me, and hath also heardH8085 my voiceH6963, and hath givenH5414 me a sonH1121: therefore calledH7121 she his nameH8034 DanH1835. {Dan: that is, Judging}
And BilhahH1090 Rachel'sH7354 maidH8198 conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.
And RachelH7354 saidH559, With greatH430 wrestlingsH5319 have I wrestledH6617 with my sisterH269, and I have prevailedH3201: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 NaphtaliH5321. {great…: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}
When LeahH3812 sawH7200 that she had leftH5975 bearingH3205, she tookH3947 ZilpahH2153 her maidH8198, and gaveH5414 her JacobH3290 to wifeH802.
And ZilpahH2153 Leah'sH3812 maidH8198 bareH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, A troopH1409 comethH935: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 GadH1410. {Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}
And ZilpahH2153 Leah'sH3812 maidH8198 bareH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, Happy am IH837, for the daughtersH1323 will call me blessedH833: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 AsherH836. {Happy…: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}
And ReubenH7205 went inH3212 the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them unto his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, Give meH5414, I pray thee, of thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And she saidH559 unto her, Is it a small matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou take awayH3947 my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to nightH3915 forH8478 thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And JacobH3290 cameH935 out of the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thou must come inH935 unto me; for surelyH7936 I have hiredH7936 thee with my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736. And he layH7901 with her that nightH3915.
And GodH430 hearkenedH8085 unto LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 the fifthH2549 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 me my hireH7939, becauseH834 I have givenH5414 my maidenH8198 to my husbandH376: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485. {Issachar: that is, An hire}
And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 the sixthH8345 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath enduedH2064 me with a goodH2896 dowryH2065; nowH6471 will my husbandH376 dwellH2082 with me, because I have bornH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ZebulunH2074. {Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}
And afterwardsH310 she bareH3205 a daughterH1323, and calledH7121 her nameH8034 DinahH1783. {Dinah: that is Judgment}
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to her, and openedH6605 her wombH7358.
And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, GodH430 hath taken awayH622 my reproachH2781:
And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JosephH3130; and saidH559, The LORDH3068 shall addH3254 to me anotherH312 sonH1121. {Joseph: that is, Adding}
And it came to pass, when RachelH7354 had bornH3205 JosephH3130, that JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, Send me awayH7971, that I may goH3212 unto mine own placeH4725, and to my countryH776.
GiveH5414 me my wivesH802 and my childrenH3206, forH2004 whom I have servedH5647 thee, and let me goH3212: for thou knowestH3045 my serviceH5656 which I have doneH5647 thee.
And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto him, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869, tarry: for I have learned by experienceH5172 that the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 me for thy sakeH1558.
And he saidH559, AppointH5344 me thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it.
And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowestH3045 howH834 I have servedH5647 thee, and howH834 thy cattleH4735 was with me.
For it was littleH4592 which thou hadst before IH6440 came, and it is now increasedH6555 unto a multitudeH7230; and the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 thee since my comingH7272: and now whenH4970 shall I provideH6213 for mine own houseH1004 also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since…: Heb. at my foot}
And he saidH559, What shall I give theeH5414? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt not giveH5414 me any thingH3972: if thou wilt doH6213 this thingH1697 for me, I will againH7725 feedH7462 and keepH8104 thy flockH6629:
I will passH5674 through all thy flockH6629 to dayH3117, removingH5493 from thence all the speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 cattleH7716, and all the brownH2345 cattleH7716 among the sheepH3775, and the spottedH2921 and speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795: and of such shall be my hireH7939.
So shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for me in timeH3117 to comeH4279, when it shall comeH935 for my hireH7939 before thy faceH6440: every oneH3605 that is not speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795, and brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, that shall be counted stolenH1589 with me. {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH3863 according to thy wordH1697.
And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he goatsH8495 that were ringstrakedH6124 and spottedH2921, and all the she goatsH5795 that were speckledH5348 and spottedH2921, and every one that had some whiteH3836 in it, and all the brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of his sonsH1121.
And he setH7760 threeH7969 days'H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himself and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fedH7462 the restH3498 of Laban'sH3837 flocksH6629.
And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rodsH4731 of greenH3892 poplarH3839, and of the hazelH3869 and chesnut treeH6196; and pilledH6478 whiteH3836 strakesH6479 in them, and made the whiteH3836 appearH4286 which was in the rodsH4731.
And he setH3322 the rodsH4731 which he had pilledH6478 beforeH5227 the flocksH6629 in the guttersH7298 in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 when the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354, that they should conceiveH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354.
And the flocksH6629 conceivedH3179 before the rodsH4731, and brought forthH3205 cattleH6629 ringstrakedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921.
And JacobH3290 did separateH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 towardH413 the ringstrakedH6124, and all the brownH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH7896 his own flocksH5739 by themselves, and putH7896 them not unto Laban'sH3837 cattleH6629.
And it came to pass, whensoever the strongerH7194 cattleH6629 did conceiveH3179, that JacobH3290 laidH7760 the rodsH4731 before the eyesH5869 of the cattleH6629 in the guttersH7298, that they might conceiveH3179 among the rodsH4731.
But when the cattleH6629 were feebleH5848, he put them not inH7760: so the feeblerH5848 were Laban'sH3837, and the strongerH7194 Jacob'sH3290.
And the manH376 increasedH6555 exceedinglyH3966+H3966, and had muchH7227 cattleH6629, and maidservantsH8198, and menservantsH5650, and camelsH1581, and assesH2543.
Then JacobH3290 went onH5375 his journeyH7272, and cameH3212 into the landH776 of the peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. {went…: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And he lookedH7200, and behold a wellH875 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, there were threeH7969 flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 lyingH7257 by it; for out of that wellH875 they wateredH8248 the flocksH5739: and a greatH1419 stoneH68 was upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310.
And thither were all the flocksH5739 gatheredH622: and they rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the sheepH6629, and putH7725 the stoneH68 againH7725 upon the well'sH875 mouthH6310 in his placeH4725.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto them, My brethrenH251, whenceH370 be ye? And they saidH559, Of HaranH2771 are we.
And he saidH559 unto them, KnowH3045 ye LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of NahorH5152? And they saidH559, We knowH3045 him.
And he saidH559 unto them, Is he wellH7965? And they saidH559, He is wellH7965: and, behold, RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 comethH935 with the sheepH6629. {Is he…: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
And he saidH559, LoH2005, it is yet highH1419 dayH3117, neither is it timeH6256 that the cattleH4735 should be gathered togetherH622: waterH8248 ye the sheepH6629, and goH3212 and feedH7462 them. {it is…: Heb. yet the day is great}
And they saidH559, We cannotH3201, until all the flocksH5739 be gathered togetherH622, and till they rollH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310; then we waterH8248 the sheepH6629.
And while he yetH5750 spakeH1696 with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 with her father'sH1 sheepH6629: for she kept themH7462.
And it came to pass, when JacobH3290 sawH7200 RachelH7354 the daughterH1323 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, and the sheepH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251, that JacobH3290 went nearH5066, and rolledH1556 the stoneH68 from the well'sH875 mouthH6310, and wateredH8248 the flockH6629 of LabanH3837 his mother'sH517 brotherH251.
And JacobH3290 kissedH5401 RachelH7354, and lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And JacobH3290 toldH5046 RachelH7354 that he was her father'sH1 brotherH251, and that he was Rebekah'sH7259 sonH1121: and she ranH7323 and toldH5046 her fatherH1.
And it came to pass, when LabanH3837 heardH8085 the tidingsH8088 of JacobH3290 his sister'sH269 sonH1121, that he ranH7323 to meetH7125 him, and embracedH2263 him, and kissedH5401 him, and broughtH935 him to his houseH1004. And he toldH5608 LabanH3837 all these thingsH1697. {tidings: Heb. hearing}
And LabanH3837 saidH559 to him, SurelyH389 thou art my boneH6106 and my fleshH1320. And he abodeH3427 with him the spaceH3117 of a monthH2320. {the space…: Heb. a month of days}
And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Because thou art my brotherH251, shouldest thou therefore serveH5647 me for noughtH2600? tellH5046 me, what shall thy wagesH4909 be?
And LabanH3837 had twoH8147 daughtersH1323: the nameH8034 of the elderH1419 was LeahH3812, and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 was RachelH7354.
LeahH3812 was tenderH7390 eyedH5869; but RachelH7354 was beautifulH3303+H8389 and wellH3303 favouredH4758.
And JacobH3290 lovedH157 RachelH7354; and saidH559, I will serveH5647 thee sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354 thy youngerH6996 daughterH1323.
And LabanH3837 saidH559, It is betterH2896 that I giveH5414 her to thee, than that I should giveH5414 her to anotherH312 manH376: abideH3427 with me.
And JacobH3290 servedH5647 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 for RachelH7354; and they seemedH5869 unto him but a fewH259 daysH3117, for the love he hadH160 to her.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, GiveH3051 me my wifeH802, for my daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390, that I may go inH935 unto her.
And LabanH3837 gathered togetherH622 all the menH582 of the placeH4725, and madeH6213 a feastH4960.
And it came to pass in the eveningH6153, that he tookH3947 LeahH3812 his daughterH1323, and broughtH935 her to him; and he went inH935 unto her.
And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 unto his daughterH1323 LeahH3812 ZilpahH2153 his maidH8198 for an handmaidH8198.
And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242, behold, it was LeahH3812: and he saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is this thou hast doneH6213 unto me? did not I serveH5647 with thee for RachelH7354? wherefore then hast thou beguiledH7411 me?
And LabanH3837 saidH559, It must not be so doneH6213 in our countryH4725, to giveH5414 the youngerH6810 beforeH6440 the firstbornH1067. {country: Heb. place}
FulfilH4390 herH2063 weekH7620, and we will giveH5414 thee this also for the serviceH5656 which thou shalt serveH5647 with me yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And JacobH3290 didH6213 so, and fulfilledH4390 her weekH7620: and he gaveH5414 him RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802 also.
And LabanH3837 gaveH5414 to RachelH7354 his daughterH1323 BilhahH1090 his handmaidH8198 to be her maidH8198.
And he went inH935 also unto RachelH7354, and he lovedH157 also RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812, and servedH5647 with him yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that LeahH3812 was hatedH8130, he openedH6605 her wombH7358: but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135.
And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121, and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ReubenH7205: forH3588 she saidH559, SurelyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath lookedH7200 upon my afflictionH6040; now thereforeH3588 my husbandH376 will loveH157 me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 that I was hatedH8130, he hath therefore givenH5414 me this son also: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 SimeonH8095. {Simeon: that is, Hearing}
And she conceived againH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Now this timeH6471 will my husbandH376 be joinedH3867 unto me, because I have bornH3205 him threeH7969 sonsH1121: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 LeviH3878. {Levi: that is, Joined}
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121: and she saidH559, NowH6471 will I praiseH3034 the LORDH3068: therefore she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JudahH3063; and leftH5975 bearingH3205. {Judah: that is, Praise} {left…: Heb. stood from bearing}
And when RachelH7354 sawH7200 that she bareH3205 JacobH3290 no children, RachelH7354 enviedH7065 her sisterH269; and saidH559 unto JacobH3290, GiveH3051 me childrenH1121, or elseH369 I dieH4191.
And Jacob'sH3290 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against RachelH7354: and he saidH559, Am I in God'sH430 stead, who hath withheldH4513 from thee the fruitH6529 of the wombH990?
And she saidH559, Behold my maidH519 BilhahH1090, go inH935 unto her; and she shall bearH3205 upon my kneesH1290, that I may also have childrenH1129 by her. {have…: Heb. be built by her}
And she gaveH5414 him BilhahH1090 her handmaidH8198 to wifeH802: and JacobH3290 went inH935 unto her.
And BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.
And RachelH7354 saidH559, GodH430 hath judgedH1777 me, and hath also heardH8085 my voiceH6963, and hath givenH5414 me a sonH1121: therefore calledH7121 she his nameH8034 DanH1835. {Dan: that is, Judging}
And BilhahH1090 Rachel'sH7354 maidH8198 conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.
And RachelH7354 saidH559, With greatH430 wrestlingsH5319 have I wrestledH6617 with my sisterH269, and I have prevailedH3201: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 NaphtaliH5321. {great…: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}
When LeahH3812 sawH7200 that she had leftH5975 bearingH3205, she tookH3947 ZilpahH2153 her maidH8198, and gaveH5414 her JacobH3290 to wifeH802.
And ZilpahH2153 Leah'sH3812 maidH8198 bareH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, A troopH1409 comethH935: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 GadH1410. {Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}
And ZilpahH2153 Leah'sH3812 maidH8198 bareH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, Happy am IH837, for the daughtersH1323 will call me blessedH833: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 AsherH836. {Happy…: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}
And ReubenH7205 went inH3212 the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them unto his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, Give meH5414, I pray thee, of thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And she saidH559 unto her, Is it a small matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou take awayH3947 my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to nightH3915 forH8478 thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And JacobH3290 cameH935 out of the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thou must come inH935 unto me; for surelyH7936 I have hiredH7936 thee with my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736. And he layH7901 with her that nightH3915.
And GodH430 hearkenedH8085 unto LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 the fifthH2549 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 me my hireH7939, becauseH834 I have givenH5414 my maidenH8198 to my husbandH376: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485. {Issachar: that is, An hire}
And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 JacobH3290 the sixthH8345 sonH1121.
And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath enduedH2064 me with a goodH2896 dowryH2065; nowH6471 will my husbandH376 dwellH2082 with me, because I have bornH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ZebulunH2074. {Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}
And afterwardsH310 she bareH3205 a daughterH1323, and calledH7121 her nameH8034 DinahH1783. {Dinah: that is Judgment}
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to her, and openedH6605 her wombH7358.
And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, GodH430 hath taken awayH622 my reproachH2781:
And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JosephH3130; and saidH559, The LORDH3068 shall addH3254 to me anotherH312 sonH1121. {Joseph: that is, Adding}
And it came to pass, when RachelH7354 had bornH3205 JosephH3130, that JacobH3290 saidH559 unto LabanH3837, Send me awayH7971, that I may goH3212 unto mine own placeH4725, and to my countryH776.
GiveH5414 me my wivesH802 and my childrenH3206, forH2004 whom I have servedH5647 thee, and let me goH3212: for thou knowestH3045 my serviceH5656 which I have doneH5647 thee.
And LabanH3837 saidH559 unto him, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869, tarry: for I have learned by experienceH5172 that the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 me for thy sakeH1558.
And he saidH559, AppointH5344 me thy wagesH7939, and I will giveH5414 it.
And he saidH559 unto him, Thou knowestH3045 howH834 I have servedH5647 thee, and howH834 thy cattleH4735 was with me.
For it was littleH4592 which thou hadst before IH6440 came, and it is now increasedH6555 unto a multitudeH7230; and the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 thee since my comingH7272: and now whenH4970 shall I provideH6213 for mine own houseH1004 also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since…: Heb. at my foot}
And he saidH559, What shall I give theeH5414? And JacobH3290 saidH559, Thou shalt not giveH5414 me any thingH3972: if thou wilt doH6213 this thingH1697 for me, I will againH7725 feedH7462 and keepH8104 thy flockH6629:
I will passH5674 through all thy flockH6629 to dayH3117, removingH5493 from thence all the speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 cattleH7716, and all the brownH2345 cattleH7716 among the sheepH3775, and the spottedH2921 and speckledH5348 among the goatsH5795: and of such shall be my hireH7939.
So shall my righteousnessH6666 answerH6030 for me in timeH3117 to comeH4279, when it shall comeH935 for my hireH7939 before thy faceH6440: every oneH3605 that is not speckledH5348 and spottedH2921 among the goatsH5795, and brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, that shall be counted stolenH1589 with me. {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
And LabanH3837 saidH559, Behold, I would it might beH3863 according to thy wordH1697.
And he removedH5493 that dayH3117 the he goatsH8495 that were ringstrakedH6124 and spottedH2921, and all the she goatsH5795 that were speckledH5348 and spottedH2921, and every one that had some whiteH3836 in it, and all the brownH2345 among the sheepH3775, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of his sonsH1121.
And he setH7760 threeH7969 days'H3117 journeyH1870 betwixt himself and JacobH3290: and JacobH3290 fedH7462 the restH3498 of Laban'sH3837 flocksH6629.
And JacobH3290 tookH3947 him rodsH4731 of greenH3892 poplarH3839, and of the hazelH3869 and chesnut treeH6196; and pilledH6478 whiteH3836 strakesH6479 in them, and made the whiteH3836 appearH4286 which was in the rodsH4731.
And he setH3322 the rodsH4731 which he had pilledH6478 beforeH5227 the flocksH6629 in the guttersH7298 in the wateringH4325 troughsH8268 when the flocksH6629 cameH935 to drinkH8354, that they should conceiveH3179 when they cameH935 to drinkH8354.
And the flocksH6629 conceivedH3179 before the rodsH4731, and brought forthH3205 cattleH6629 ringstrakedH6124, speckledH5348, and spottedH2921.
And JacobH3290 did separateH6504 the lambsH3775, and setH5414 the facesH6440 of the flocksH6629 towardH413 the ringstrakedH6124, and all the brownH2345 in the flockH6629 of LabanH3837; and he putH7896 his own flocksH5739 by themselves, and putH7896 them not unto Laban'sH3837 cattleH6629.
And it came to pass, whensoever the strongerH7194 cattleH6629 did conceiveH3179, that JacobH3290 laidH7760 the rodsH4731 before the eyesH5869 of the cattleH6629 in the guttersH7298, that they might conceiveH3179 among the rodsH4731.
But when the cattleH6629 were feebleH5848, he put them not inH7760: so the feeblerH5848 were Laban'sH3837, and the strongerH7194 Jacob'sH3290.
And the manH376 increasedH6555 exceedinglyH3966+H3966, and had muchH7227 cattleH6629, and maidservantsH8198, and menservantsH5650, and camelsH1581, and assesH2543.
