Genesis 30:16-27
-
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
-
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
-
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
-
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
-
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
-
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
-
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
-
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
-
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
-
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
-
26 Give 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.
-
27 And Laban said unto 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.
