And Laban will give to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah his maid to her for a maid.

And he will go in also to Rachel, and he will also love Rachel more than Leah, and he will serve with him yet other seven years.

And Jehovah will see that Leah was hated, and he will open her womb: and Rachel barren.

And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.

And she will yet again conceive and bear a son, and she will say that Jehovah heard that I am hated, and he will give to me this also; and she will call his name Simeon.

And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.

And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.

And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. And she said to Jacob, Give me sons, or else I will die.

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?

Then she said, "Here [is] my servant girl Bilhah; go in to her that she may bear children {as my surrogate}. Then I will even {have children} by her."

And she will give to him Bilhah her maid for a wife, and Jacob will go in to her.

And Bilhah will conceive and will bear to Jacob a son.

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.

And Bilhah, Rachel's maid will yet again conceive and bare a second son to Jacob.

And Rachel will say, The wrestlings of God I wrestled with my sister; also I was able. And she will call his name Naphtali.

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.

And Zilpah, Leah's maid, will bear to Jacob a son.

And Leah will say, In good fortune: and she will call his name Gad.

And Zilpah, Leah's maid, will bear a second son to Jacob.

And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.

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.

And she said to her, Is it too little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

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

And God will listen to Leah, and she will conceive and bear to Jacob the fifth son.

And Leah will say, God gave me My hire because I gave my maid to my husband: and she will call his name Issachar.

And Leah will conceive yet again, and will bear the sixth son to Jacob.

and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

And afterwards she bare a daughter, and she will call her name Dinah.

And God will remember Rachel, and God will listen to her, and he will open her womb.

And she will conceive and will bare a son, and she will say, God took away my reproach.

And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.

And it shall be when Rachel bare Joseph, and Jacob will say to Laban, send me away, and I shall go to my place and to my land.

Give my wives and my children, for whom I served thee, and I will go forth; for thou knewest ray work which I served thee.

And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.

And he will say to him, Thou. knewest what I served thee, and what was thy cattle with me.

For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?"

And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:

I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and that shall be my hire.

So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen."

And Laban will say to him, Behold, it shall be according to thy word.

And he will remove in that day the he-goats banded and patched, and all the she-goats speckled and patched; every one which being white on it, and every one black among the sheep, and he will give into the hand of his sons.

And he will set a way of three days between him and between Jacob; and Jacob fed Laban's sheep the rest.

And Jacob will take to himself a rod of green storax, and the almond tree, and the plane tree, and he will strip off of them the white strippings, uncovering the white which was upon the rods.

And Jacob separated the lambs, and he will give the faces of the sheep to the banded and every one black among the sheep of Laban: and he will set to himself the flocks, to himself alone, and not put them with Laban's sheep.

And in the sheep being feeble, he will not put in: and those being feeble, were to Laban, and those being strong, to Jacob.

And the man will break forth greatly, greatly; and there will be to him many sheep and maids, and servants, and camels and asses.

And he will hear the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob took all which was to our father, and from what was to our father he made all this multitude.

And Jacob will see the face of Laban, and behold, it was not towards him as yesterday, the third day.

And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

And Jacob will send and call to Rachel and to Leah in the field to his sheep.

And will say to them, I saw the face of your father that it is not towards me as yesterday the third day: and the God of my father was with me.

And ye know that will all my power I have served your father.

If he said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore streaked.

And God will take away the cattle of your father and will give them to me.

And the messenger of God will say to me in a dream, Jacob: and I shall say, Behold me.

And he will say, Lift up now thine eyes and see all the he-goats ascending upon the sheep, banded, speckled and sprinkled with spots; for I saw all that Laban did to thee.

And Rachel will answer, and Leah, and they will say to him, Is yet to us a portion and inheritance in our father's house?

And Jacob will rise, and lift up his sons and his wives upon the camels.

And he will lead away all his cattle and all his horse which he acquired, the cattle of his acquisition, which he acquired in Padan Aram, to go to Isaak his father in the land of Canaan.

And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel will steal the family gods which were to her father.

And Jacob will steal the heart of Laban the Syrian, for not announcing to him that he broke away.

And he will break away, and all which was to him; and he will rise and pass over the river, and will set his face to Mount Gilead.

And it will be announced to Laban in the third day, that Jacob broke away.

And he will take his brethren with him, and pursue after him a way of seven days: and he will overtake him in Mount Gilead.

And God will come to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night and will say to him, Watch to thyself, lest thou shalt speak with Jacob from good to evil.

And Laban will overtake Jacob. And Jacob pitched his tent in the mount; and Laban pitched with his brethren in Mount Gilead.

And Laban will say to Jacob, What didst thou and thou didst steal my heart, and will carry away my daughters as captives of the sword?

For what didst thou hide to break away, and didst steal me, and didst not announce to me? and I will send thee away with gladness and with songs, with the drum and with the harp?

And Jacob will answer and say to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou wilt tear away my daughters from me;

If you find your gods with anyone here, he will not live! Before our relatives, point out anything that is yours and take it.” Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.

And Laban will go into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maids, and he found them not And he will go out from the tent of Leah and will go into Rachel's tent

And Rachel took the family gods, and she will put them in the camel's saddle and will sit upon them. And Laban will feel all the tent, and he found not

And she will say to her father, My lord will not be angry in his eyes, that I shall not be able to rise from thy face, for the way of women is to me. And he will search and he found not the family gods,

And it kindled to Jacob, and he will contend with Laban, and Jacob will answer and say to Laban, What my fault? what my sin that thou didst hotly pursue after me?

I did not bring you the torn carcasses [of the animals attacked by predators]; I [personally] took the loss. You required of me [to make good] everything that was stolen, whether it occurred by day or night.

I was in the day, the drought consumed me, and cold in the night, and sleep will flee away from mine eyes.

Here to me twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy sheep; and thou wilt change my hire ten portions.

And Laban will answer and say to Jacob, The daughters, my daughters, and the sons, my sons, and the sheep, my sheep, and all which thou sawest, this to me, and to my daughters: what shall I do to these this day, or to their sons which they brought forth?

Now come thou we will make a covenant, I and thou; and it was for witness between me and between thee.

And Jacob will take a stone and raise up a pillar.

And Jacob will say to his brethren, Gather stones; and they will take stones and make a heap; and they will eat there upon the heap.

And Laban will call it the heap of testimony, and Jacob called it the heap of witness.

Then Laban said, "This stack will serve as a witness between you and me today." That's how the place came to be named Galeed.

And watchtower: for he said Jehovah will watch between me and between thee when we shall be concealed a man from his Mend.

If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, though no one is with us, understand that God will be a witness between you and me.”

And Laban will say to Jacob, Behold this heap; and behold the pillar which I cast between me and between thee.

This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

The God of Abraham, and the gods of Nahor—the gods of their father—will judge between us.” And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

And Jacob will sacrifice a sacrifice upon the mount, and will call to his brethren to eat bread, and they will eat bread, and they will pass the night in the mount

And Laban will rise up in the morning and will kiss his sons and his daughters, and will bless them: and Laban will go and turn back to his place.

And Jacob will say when seeing them, This the camp of God: and he will call the name of that place the camps.

And Jacob will send messengers before his face to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Adam.

And he will command them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus thy servant Jacob said, With Laban I sojourned and lingered till now.

And there will be to me ox and ass, sheep and servant, and maid; and I shall send to announce to my lord to find grace in thine eyes.

And the messengers will turn back to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he came to thy meeting, and four hundred men with him.

And Jacob will be greatly afraid and it will press upon him: and he will divide the people which were with him, and the sheep and the oxen, and the camels, into two camps.

and he said, "If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape."

And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah, who saidst unto me: Return into thy country and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,

Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
