Genesis 30:1-24

LITV(i) 1 And Rachel saw that she did not bear to Jacob, and Rachel was jealous of her sister. And she said to Jacob, Give me sons; and if there is none, I shall die. 2 And Jacob's anger glowed against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's place, who has kept back from you the fruit of the womb? 3 And she said, Behold my servant Bilhah! Go in to her and let her bear on my knees; yea, let me be built up from her, me also. 4 And she gave her slave-girl Bilhah to him for a wife. And Jacob went in to her. 5 And Bilhah conceived and bore a son to Jacob. 6 And Rachel said, God has judged and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son. So she called his name Dan. 7 And Bilhah, Rachel's slave-girl, conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob. 8 And Rachel said, With struggles of God I have struggled with my sister; yea, I have been able. And she called his name Naphtali. 9 And Leah saw that she had ceased from bearing. And she took Zilpah, her slave-girl, and gave her to Jacob for a wife. 10 And Leah's slave-girl Zilpah bore a son to Jacob. 11 And Leah said, With fortune. And she called his name Gad. 12 And Zilpah, Leah's slave-girl, bore a second son to Jacob. 13 And Leah said, In my happiness; for the daughters shall call me happy. And she called his name Asher. 14 And in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went out and found love-apples in the field. And he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Please give to me from the love-apples of your son. 15 And she said to her, is your taking my husband a little thing? Will you also take my son's love-apples? And Rachel said, So he shall be with you tonight, for your son's love apples. 16 And Jacob came in from the field at evening. And Leah went out to meet him. And she said, You must come in to me, for surely I have hired you with my son's love-apples. And he lay with her during that night. 17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob. 18 And Leah said, God has given my hire; I gave my slave-girl to my husband. And she called his name Issachar. 19 And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 20 And Leah said, God has given me a good present. This time my husband will live with me, because I have borne six sons to him. And she called his name Zebulun. 21 And afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah. 22 And God remembered Rachel; and God listened to her and opened her womb. 23 And she conceived and bore a son. And she said, God has taken away my reproach. 24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, May Jehovah add to me another son.
