Genesis 30:20-32

  1. 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.

  2. And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

  3. And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

  4. And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

  5. And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.

  10. And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

  11. For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

  12. And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.

  13. I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
