And he said unto them, "Is he in good health?" And they said, "He is in good health: and behold, his daughter Rachel cometh with the sheep."

While he yet talked with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, he went and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.

And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lift up his voice and wept:

and told her also that he was her father's brother and Rebekah's son. Then Rachel ran and told her father.

And Laban had two daughters, the eldest called Lea and the youngest Rachel.

Lea was tender eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

And Jacob loved her well, and said, "I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy youngest daughter."

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

And when the morning was come, behold, it was Lea. Then said he to Laban, "Wherefore hast thou played thus with me? Did not I serve thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?"

And Jacob did even so, and passed out that week, and then he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to be her servant.

So lay he by Rachel also, and loved Rachel more than Lea, and served him yet seven years more.

When the LORD saw that Lea was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rachel was barren.

When Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, she envied her sister and said unto Jacob, "Give me children, or else I am but dead."

Then was Jacob wroth with Rachel saying, "Am I in God's stead which keepeth from thee the fruit of thy womb?"

Then said Rachel, "God hath given sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son." Therefore called she him Dan.

And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again; and bare Jacob another son.

And Rachel said, "God is turned, and I have made a change with my sister, and have gotten the upper hand." And she called his name Naphtali.

And Reuben went out in the wheat harvest and found mandragoras in the fields, and brought them unto his mother Lea. Then said Rachel to Lea, "Give me of thy son's mandragoras."

And Lea answered, "Is it not enough, that thou hast taken away my husband, but wouldest take away my son's mandragoras also?" Then said Rachel, "Well, let him sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandragoras."

And God remembered Rachel, heard her, and made her fruitful:

As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place and country;

Then Jacob sent and called Rachel and Lea to the field unto his sheep,

Then answered Rachel and Lea and said unto him, "We have no part nor inheritance in our father's house:

Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen her father's images.

But with whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him die here before our brethren. Seek that thine is by me, and take it to thee." For Jacob wist not that Rachel had stolen them.

Then went Laban into Jacob's tent, and into Lea's tent, and into two maidens' tents: but found them not. Then went he out of Lea's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

And Rachel took the images, and put them in the camel's straw, and sat down upon them. And Laban searched all the tent: but found them not.

Jacob lift up his eyes and saw his brother Esau come, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Lea and unto Rachel and unto the two maidens.

And he put the maidens and their children foremost, and Lea and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

Lea also and her children came and did their obeisance. And last of all came Joseph and Rachel and did their obeisance.

And they departed from Bethel, and when he was but a field breadth from Ephrata, Rachel began to travail. And in travailing she was in peril.

And thus died Rachel, and was buried in the way to Ephrata which now is called Bethlehem.

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave, which is called Rachel's grave pillar unto this day.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid: Dan and Naphtali.

The children of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.

These are the children of Rachel which were born unto Jacob: fourteen souls altogether.

These are the sons of Bilhah which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob, altogether seven souls.

And after I came from Mesopotamia, Rachel died upon my hand in the land of Canaan, by the way: when I had but a field's breadth to go unto Ephrata. And I buried her there in the way to Ephrata which is now called Bethlehem."
