Genesis 30:1-21

JuliaSmith(i) 1 And Rachel will see that she shall not bring forth to Jacob, and Rachel will envy her sister, and will say to Jacob, Give me sons, and if not, I die. 2 And Jacob's anger will burn at Rachel, and he will say, Am I instead of God, who kept back from thee the fruit of the belly? 3 And she will say, Behold my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she shall bring forth upon my knees, and I also shall be built from her. 4 And she will give to him Bilhah her maid for a wife, and Jacob will go in to her. 5 And Bilhah will conceive and will bear to Jacob a son. 6 And Rachel will say, God judged me and also heard my voice, and he will give to me a son; for this she called his name Dan. 7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid will yet again conceive and bare a second son to Jacob. 8 And Rachel will say, The wrestlings of God I wrestled with my sister; also I was able. And she will call his name Naphtali. 9 And Leah will see that she stood from bringing forth, and she will take Zilpah her maid and will give her to Jacob for a wife. 10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, will bear to Jacob a son. 11 And Leah will say, In good fortune: and she will call his name Gad. 12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, will bear a second son to Jacob. 13 And Leah will say, In my happiness, for the daughters will pronounce me happy; and she will call his name Asher. 14 And Reuben will go in the day of the harvest of wheat, and will find apples of mandrakes in the field, and he will bring them to Leah his mother: and Rachel will say to Leah, Give now to me of thy son's apples of mandrakes. 15 And she will say to her, Is it little, thy taking my husband'! and thou didst take also my son's apples of mandrakes? And Rachel will say, For this he shall lie with thee this night, for thy son's apples of mandrakes. 16 And Jacob will come from the field in the evening, and Leah will go forth to his meeting, and she will say, Thou shalt come in to me, for hiring I hired thee for my son's apples of mandrakes: and he will lie with her in that night 17 And God will listen to Leah, and she will conceive and bear to Jacob the fifth son. 18 And Leah will say, God gave me My hire because I gave my maid to my husband: and she will call his name Issachar. 19 And Leah will conceive yet again, and will bear the sixth son to Jacob. 20 And Leah will say, God gave me a good gift; this time will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons. And she will call his name Zebulon. 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and she will call her name Dinah.
