Genesis 29:1--30:43

29:1
Then Jacob
<03290>
went on
<05375> (8799)
his journey
<07272>_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of the people
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
29:2
And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a well
<0875>
in the field
<07704>_,
and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>
flocks
<05739>
of sheep
<06629>
lying
<07257> (8802)
by it; for out of that well
<0875>
they watered
<08248> (8686)
the flocks
<05739>_:
and a great
<01419>
stone
<068>
[was] upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_.
29:3
And thither were all the flocks
<05739>
gathered
<0622> (8738)_:
and they rolled
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_,
and put
<07725> (0)
the stone
<068>
again
<07725> (8689)
upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>
in his place
<04725>_.
29:4
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,
whence
<0370>
[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Of Haran
<02771>
[are] we.
29:5
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)
ye Laban
<03837>
the son
<01121>
of Nahor
<05152>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We know
<03045> (8804)
[him].
29:6
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] well
<07965>_:
and, behold, Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
with the sheep
<06629>_.
{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
29:7
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo
<02005>_,
[it is] yet high
<01419>
day
<03117>_,
neither [is it] time
<06256>
that the cattle
<04735>
should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:
water
<08248> (8685)
ye the sheep
<06629>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
[and] feed
<07462> (8798)
[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}
29:8
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,
until all the flocks
<05739>
be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,
and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_;
then we water
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_.
29:9
And while he yet
<05750>
spake
<01696> (8764)
with them, Rachel
<07354>
came
<0935> (8804)
with her father's
<01>
sheep
<06629>_:
for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.
29:10
And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8804)
Rachel
<07354>
the daughter
<01323>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
and the sheep
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
went near
<05066> (8799)_,
and rolled
<01556> (8686)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8686)
the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_.
29:11
And Jacob
<03290>
kissed
<05401> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
29:12
And Jacob
<03290>
told
<05046> (8686)
Rachel
<07354>
that he [was] her father's
<01>
brother
<0251>_,
and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>
son
<01121>_:
and she ran
<07323> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
her father
<01>_.
29:13
And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the tidings
<08088>
of Jacob
<03290>
his sister's
<0269>
son
<01121>_,
that he ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)
him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to his house
<01004>_.
And he told
<05608> (8762)
Laban
<03837>
all these things
<01697>_.
{tidings: Heb. hearing}
29:14
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Surely
<0389>
thou [art] my bone
<06106>
and my flesh
<01320>_.
And he abode
<03427> (8799)
with him the space
<03117>
of a month
<02320>_.
{the space...: Heb. a month of days}
29:15
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,
shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)
me for nought
<02600>_?
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>
[be]?
29:16
And Laban
<03837>
had two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_:
the name
<08034>
of the elder
<01419>
[was] Leah
<03812>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the younger
<06996>
[was] Rachel
<07354>_.
29:17
Leah
<03812>
[was] tender
<07390>
eyed
<05869>_;
but Rachel
<07354>
was beautiful
<03303> <08389>
and well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>_.
29:18
And Jacob
<03290>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>
thy younger
<06996>
daughter
<01323>_.
29:19
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] better
<02896>
that I give
<05414> (8800)
her to thee, than that I should give
<05414> (8800)
her to another
<0312>
man
<0376>_:
abide
<03427> (8798)
with me.
29:20
And Jacob
<03290>
served
<05647> (8799)
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>_;
and they seemed
<05869>
unto him [but] a few
<0259>
days
<03117>_,
for the love he had
<0160>
to her.
29:21
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
[me] my wife
<0802>_,
for my days
<03117>
are fulfilled
<04390> (8804)_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
29:22
And Laban
<03837>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
a feast
<04960>_.
29:23
And it came to pass in the evening
<06153>_,
that he took
<03947> (8799)
Leah
<03812>
his daughter
<01323>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
her to him; and he went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
29:24
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
unto his daughter
<01323>
Leah
<03812>
Zilpah
<02153>
his maid
<08198>
[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.
29:25
And it came to pass, that in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, it [was] Leah
<03812>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto me? did not I serve
<05647> (8804)
with thee for Rachel
<07354>_?
wherefore then hast thou beguiled
<07411> (8765)
me?
29:26
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
It must not be so done
<06213> (8735)
in our country
<04725>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
the younger
<06810>
before
<06440>
the firstborn
<01067>_.
{country: Heb. place}
29:27
Fulfil
<04390> (8761)
her
<02063>
week
<07620>_,
and we will give
<05414> (8799)
thee this also for the service
<05656>
which thou shalt serve
<05647> (8799)
with me yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
29:28
And Jacob
<03290>
did
<06213> (8799)
so, and fulfilled
<04390> (8762)
her week
<07620>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>
also.
29:29
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
to Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
Bilhah
<01090>
his handmaid
<08198>
to be her maid
<08198>_.
29:30
And he went in
<0935> (8799)
also unto Rachel
<07354>_,
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
also Rachel
<07354>
more than Leah
<03812>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
with him yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
29:31
And when the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Leah
<03812>
[was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_:
but Rachel
<07354>
[was] barren
<06135>_.
29:32
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Reuben
<07205>_:
for
<03588>
she said
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely
<03588>
the LORD
<03068>
hath looked
<07200> (8804)
upon my affliction
<06040>_;
now therefore
<03588>
my husband
<0376>
will love
<0157> (8799)
me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
29:33
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
that I [was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he hath therefore given
<05414> (8799)
me this [son] also: and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Simeon
<08095>_.
{Simeon: that is, Hearing}
29:34
And she conceived again
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now this time
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
be joined
<03867> (8735)
unto me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him three
<07969>
sons
<01121>_:
therefore was his name
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Levi
<03878>_.
{Levi: that is, Joined}
29:35
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now
<06471>
will I praise
<03034> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>_:
therefore she called
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Judah
<03063>_;
and left
<05975> (8799)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_.
{Judah: that is, Praise} {left...: Heb. stood from bearing}
30:1
And when Rachel
<07354>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that she bare
<03205> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>
no children, Rachel
<07354>
envied
<07065> (8762)
her sister
<0269>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
me children
<01121>_,
or else
<0369>
I die
<04191> (8801)_.
30:2
And Jacob's
<03290>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Rachel
<07354>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] I in God's
<0430>
stead, who hath withheld
<04513> (8804)
from thee the fruit
<06529>
of the womb
<0990>_?
30:3
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold my maid
<0519>
Bilhah
<01090>_,
go in
<0935> (8798)
unto her; and she shall bear
<03205> (8799)
upon my knees
<01290>_,
that I may also have children
<01129> (8735)
by her. {have...: Heb. be built by her}
30:4
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
him Bilhah
<01090>
her handmaid
<08198>
to wife
<0802>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
30:5
And Bilhah
<01090>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a son
<01121>_.
30:6
And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath judged
<01777> (8804)
me, and hath also heard
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
and hath given
<05414> (8799)
me a son
<01121>_:
therefore called
<07121> (8804)
she his name
<08034>
Dan
<01835>_.
{Dan: that is, Judging}
30:7
And Bilhah
<01090>
Rachel's
<07354>
maid
<08198>
conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a second
<08145>
son
<01121>_.
30:8
And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
With great
<0430>
wrestlings
<05319>
have I wrestled
<06617> (8738)
with my sister
<0269>_,
and I have prevailed
<03201> (8804)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Naphtali
<05321>_.
{great...: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}
30:9
When Leah
<03812>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that she had left
<05975> (8804)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_,
she took
<03947> (8799)
Zilpah
<02153>
her maid
<08198>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
her Jacob
<03290>
to wife
<0802>_.
30:10
And Zilpah
<02153>
Leah's
<03812>
maid
<08198>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a son
<01121>_.
30:11
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
A troop
<01409>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Gad
<01410>_.
{Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}
30:12
And Zilpah
<02153>
Leah's
<03812>
maid
<08198>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a second
<08145>
son
<01121>_.
30:13
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Happy am I
<0837>_,
for the daughters
<01323>
will call me blessed
<0833> (8765)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Asher
<0836>_.
{Happy...: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}
30:14
And Reuben
<07205>
went in
<03212> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
mandrakes
<01736>
in the field
<07704>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto his mother
<0517>
Leah
<03812>_.
Then Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Leah
<03812>_,
Give me
<05414> (8798)_,
I pray thee, of thy son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
30:15
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, [Is it] a small matter
<04592>
that thou hast taken
<03947> (8800)
my husband
<0376>_?
and wouldest thou take away
<03947> (8800)
my son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>
also? And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Therefore he shall lie
<07901> (8799)
with thee to night
<03915>
for
<08478>
thy son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
30:16
And Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
out of the field
<07704>
in the evening
<06153>_,
and Leah
<03812>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou must come in
<0935> (8799)
unto me; for surely
<07936> (8800)
I have hired
<07936> (8804)
thee with my son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And he lay
<07901> (8799)
with her that night
<03915>_.
30:17
And God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto Leah
<03812>_,
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
the fifth
<02549>
son
<01121>_.
30:18
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me my hire
<07939>_,
because
<0834>
I have given
<05414> (8804)
my maiden
<08198>
to my husband
<0376>_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Issachar
<03485>_.
{Issachar: that is, An hire}
30:19
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
the sixth
<08345>
son
<01121>_.
30:20
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath endued
<02064> (8804)
me [with] a good
<02896>
dowry
<02065>_;
now
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
dwell
<02082> (8799)
with me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him six
<08337>
sons
<01121>_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Zebulun
<02074>_.
{Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}
30:21
And afterwards
<0310>
she bare
<03205> (8804)
a daughter
<01323>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
her name
<08034>
Dinah
<01783>_.
{Dinah: that is Judgment}
30:22
And God
<0430>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to her, and opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_.
30:23
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath taken away
<0622> (8804)
my reproach
<02781>_:
30:24
And she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Joseph
<03130>_;
and said
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
shall add
<03254> (8686)
to me another
<0312>
son
<01121>_.
{Joseph: that is, Adding}
30:25
And it came to pass, when Rachel
<07354>
had born
<03205> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Send me away
<07971> (8761)_,
that I may go
<03212> (8799)
unto mine own place
<04725>_,
and to my country
<0776>_.
30:26
Give
<05414> (8798)
[me] my wives
<0802>
and my children
<03206>_,
for
<02004>
whom I have served
<05647> (8804)
thee, and let me go
<03212> (8799)_:
for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
my service
<05656>
which I have done
<05647> (8804)
thee.
30:27
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in thine eyes
<05869>_,
[tarry: for] I have learned by experience
<05172> (8765)
that the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8762)
me for thy sake
<01558>_.
30:28
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Appoint
<05344> (8798)
me thy wages
<07939>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
[it].
30:29
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
how
<0834>
I have served
<05647> (8804)
thee, and how
<0834>
thy cattle
<04735>
was with me.
30:30
For [it was] little
<04592>
which thou hadst before I
<06440>
[came], and it is [now] increased
<06555> (8799)
unto a multitude
<07230>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8762)
thee since my coming
<07272>_:
and now when
<04970>
shall I provide
<06213> (8799)
for mine own house
<01004>
also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since...: Heb. at my foot}
30:31
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall I give thee
<05414> (8799)_?
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)
me any thing
<03972>_:
if thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>
for me, I will again
<07725> (8799)
feed
<07462> (8799)
[and] keep
<08104> (8799)
thy flock
<06629>_:
30:32
I will pass
<05674> (8799)
through all thy flock
<06629>
to day
<03117>_,
removing
<05493> (8687)
from thence all the speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)
cattle
<07716>_,
and all the brown
<02345>
cattle
<07716>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
and the spotted
<02921> (8803)
and speckled
<05348>
among the goats
<05795>_:
and [of such] shall be my hire
<07939>_.
30:33
So shall my righteousness
<06666>
answer
<06030> (8804)
for me in time
<03117>
to come
<04279>_,
when it shall come
<0935> (8799)
for my hire
<07939>
before thy face
<06440>_:
every one
<03605>
that [is] not speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)
among the goats
<05795>_,
and brown
<02345>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
that shall be counted stolen
<01589> (8803)
with me. {in time...: Heb. to morrow}
30:34
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I would it might be
<03863>
according to thy word
<01697>_.
30:35
And he removed
<05493> (8686)
that day
<03117>
the he goats
<08495>
that were ringstraked
<06124>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,
and all the she goats
<05795>
that were speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,
[and] every one that had [some] white
<03836>
in it, and all the brown
<02345>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] into the hand
<03027>
of his sons
<01121>_.
30:36
And he set
<07760> (8799)
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>
betwixt himself and Jacob
<03290>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
fed
<07462> (8802)
the rest
<03498> (8737)
of Laban's
<03837>
flocks
<06629>_.
30:37
And Jacob
<03290>
took
<03947> (8799)
him rods
<04731>
of green
<03892>
poplar
<03839>_,
and of the hazel
<03869>
and chesnut tree
<06196>_;
and pilled
<06478> (8762)
white
<03836>
strakes
<06479>
in them, and made the white
<03836>
appear
<04286>
which [was] in the rods
<04731>_.
30:38
And he set
<03322> (8686)
the rods
<04731>
which he had pilled
<06478> (8765)
before
<05227>
the flocks
<06629>
in the gutters
<07298>
in the watering
<04325>
troughs
<08268>
when the flocks
<06629>
came
<0935> (8799)
to drink
<08354> (8800)_,
that they should conceive
<03179> (8799)
when they came
<0935> (8800)
to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
30:39
And the flocks
<06629>
conceived
<03179> (8799)
before the rods
<04731>_,
and brought forth
<03205> (8799)
cattle
<06629>
ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_.
30:40
And Jacob
<03290>
did separate
<06504> (8689)
the lambs
<03775>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
the faces
<06440>
of the flocks
<06629>
toward
<0413>
the ringstraked
<06124>_,
and all the brown
<02345>
in the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>_;
and he put
<07896> (8799)
his own flocks
<05739>
by themselves, and put
<07896> (8804)
them not unto Laban's
<03837>
cattle
<06629>_.
30:41
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
<07194> (8794)
cattle
<06629>
did conceive
<03179> (8763)_,
that Jacob
<03290>
laid
<07760> (8804)
the rods
<04731>
before the eyes
<05869>
of the cattle
<06629>
in the gutters
<07298>_,
that they might conceive
<03179> (8763)
among the rods
<04731>_.
30:42
But when the cattle
<06629>
were feeble
<05848> (8687)_,
he put [them] not in
<07760> (8799)_:
so the feebler
<05848> (8803)
were Laban's
<03837>_,
and the stronger
<07194> (8803)
Jacob's
<03290>_.
30:43
And the man
<0376>
increased
<06555> (8799)
exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_,
and had much
<07227>
cattle
<06629>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and camels
<01581>_,
and asses
<02543>_.
