Genesis 30:5-26
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 30

5Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6Then Rachel said, 'God has vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son.' Therefore she named him Dan. 7And Rachel’s slave Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8So Rachel said, 'With mighty wrestling I have wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed.' And she named him Naphtali.
9When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her slave Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. 10And Leah’s slave Zilpah bore Jacob a son. 11Then Leah said, 'How fortunate!' So she named him Gad. 12And Leah’s slave Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. 13Then Leah said, 'Happy am I! For women will call me happy.' So she named him Asher.
14Now in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrake fruits in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, 'Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.' 15But she said to her, 'Is it a small matter for you to take my husband? And would you take my son’s mandrakes also?' So Rachel said, 'Therefore he may sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.' 16When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, 'You must have relations with me, for I have indeed hired you with my son’s mandrakes.' So he slept with her that night. 17God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18Then Leah said, 'God has given me my reward, because I gave my slave to my husband.' So she named him Issachar. 19And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 20Then Leah said, 'God has endowed me with a good gift; finally my husband will acknowledge me as his wife, because I have borne him six sons.' So she named him Zebulun. 21Afterward she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. 23So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and said, 'God has taken away my disgrace.' 24And she named him Joseph, saying, 'May the Lord give me another son.'
25Now it came about, when Rachel had given birth to Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, 'Send me away, so that I may go to my own place and to my own country. 26Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you yourself know my service which I have rendered you.'
King James Version

Chapter 30

5And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 6And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 8And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 10And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. 11And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son. 13And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14And 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. 15And 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. 16And 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. 17And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 18And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. 20And 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.
21And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 23And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 24And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son. 25And 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. 26Give 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.

7Rachel’s slave Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8Rachel said, "In my wrestlings with God, I have wrestled with my sister and won," and she named him Naphtali.

14Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother Leah, Rachel asked, "Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes."
15But Leah replied to her, "Isn’t it enough that you have taken my husband? Now you also want to take my son’s mandrakes?" "Well then," Rachel said, "he can sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes."
16When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes." So Jacob slept with her that night.
17God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18Leah said, "God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband," and she named him Issachar.
19Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. 20"God has given me a good gift," Leah said. "This time my husband will honor me because I have borne six sons for him," and she named him Zebulun. 21Later, Leah bore a daughter and named her Dinah.
22Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb. 23She conceived and bore a son, and she said, "God has taken away my disgrace." 24She named him Joseph and said, "May the Lord add another son to me."
25After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me on my way so that I can return to my homeland. 26Give me my wives and my children that I have worked for, and let me go. You know how hard I have worked for you."

Chapter 30

5Bilhah became pregnant and presented him with a son. 6Rachel named him Dan, for she said, 'God has vindicated me! He has heard my request and given me a son.' 7Then Bilhah became pregnant again and gave Jacob a second son. 8Rachel named him Naphtali, for she said, 'I have struggled hard with my sister, and I’m winning!'
9Meanwhile, Leah realized that she wasn’t getting pregnant anymore, so she took her servant, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob as a wife. 10Soon Zilpah presented him with a son. 11Leah named him Gad, for she said, 'How fortunate I am!' 12Then Zilpah gave Jacob a second son. 13And Leah named him Asher, for she said, 'What joy is mine! Now the other women will celebrate with me.'
14One day during the wheat harvest, Reuben found some mandrakes growing in a field and brought them to his mother, Leah. Rachel begged Leah, 'Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.'
15But Leah angrily replied, 'Wasn’t it enough that you stole my husband? Now will you steal my son’s mandrakes, too?' Rachel answered, 'I will let Jacob sleep with you tonight if you give me some of the mandrakes.'
16So that evening, as Jacob was coming home from the fields, Leah went out to meet him. 'You must come and sleep with me tonight!' she said. 'I have paid for you with some mandrakes that my son found.' So that night he slept with Leah. 17And God answered Leah’s prayers. She became pregnant again and gave birth to a fifth son for Jacob. 18She named him Issachar, for she said, 'God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband as a wife.' 19Then Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob. 20She named him Zebulun, for she said, 'God has given me a good reward. Now my husband will treat me with respect, for I have given him six sons.' 21Later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22Then God remembered Rachel’s plight and answered her prayers by enabling her to have children. 23She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. 'God has removed my disgrace,' she said. 24And she named him Joseph, for she said, 'May the Lord add yet another son to my family.'
25Soon after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, 'Please release me so I can go home to my own country. 26Let me take my wives and children, for I have earned them by serving you, and let me be on my way. You certainly know how hard I have worked for you.'
