01:030:016 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.
01:030:017 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare
Jacob the fifth son.
01:030:018 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have
given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
01:030:019 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
01:030:020 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.
01:030:021 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name
Dinah.
01:030:022 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and
opened her womb.
01:030:023 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken
away my reproach:
01:030:024 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add
to me another son.
01:030:025 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.
01:030:026 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.
01:030:027 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.
01:030:028 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
01:030:029 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee,
and how thy cattle was with me.
01:030:030 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?
01:030:031 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.
01:030:032 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.
01:030:033 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when
it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not
speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that
shall be counted stolen with me.
01:030:034 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy
word.
01:030:035 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked
and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and
every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep,
and gave them into the hand of his sons.
01:030:036 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and
Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
