01:029:031 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb:
but Rachel was barren.
01:029:032 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name
Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my
affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
01:029:033 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the
LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this
son also: and she called his name Simeon.
01:029:034 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this
time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born
him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
01:029:035 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now
will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah;
and left bearing.
01:030:001 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel
envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or
else I die.
01:030:002 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am
I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the
womb?
01:030:003 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she
shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by
her.
01:030:004 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went
in unto her.
01:030:005 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
01:030:006 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my
voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name
Dan.
01:030:007 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a
second son.
01:030:008 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my
sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name
Naphtali.
01:030:009 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her
maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
01:030:010 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
01:030:011 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
01:030:012 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
01:030:013 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me
blessed: and she called his name Asher.
01:030:014 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found
mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah.
Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's
mandrakes.
01:030:015 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast
taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's
mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with
thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
