1 When Rachel saw that she wasn’t having any children for Jacob, she became jealous of her sister. She pleaded with Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!”
Genesis 30:1

2 Then Jacob became furious with Rachel. “Am I God?” he asked. “He’s the one who has kept you from having children!”
Genesis 30:2

3 Then Rachel told him, “Take my maid, Bilhah, and sleep with her. She will bear children for me, and through her I can have a family, too.”
Genesis 30:3

4 So Rachel gave her servant, Bilhah, to Jacob as a wife, and he slept with her.
Genesis 30:4

5 Bilhah became pregnant and presented him with a son.
Genesis 30:5

6 Rachel named him Dan, for she said, “God has vindicated me! He has heard my request and given me a son.”
Genesis 30:6

7 Then Bilhah became pregnant again and gave Jacob a second son.
Genesis 30:7

8 Rachel named him Naphtali, for she said, “I have struggled hard with my sister, and I’m winning!”
Genesis 30:8

9 Meanwhile, Leah realized that she wasn’t getting pregnant anymore, so she took her servant, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Genesis 30:9

10 Soon Zilpah presented him with a son.
Genesis 30:10

11 Leah named him Gad, for she said, “How fortunate I am!”
Genesis 30:11

12 Then Zilpah gave Jacob a second son.
Genesis 30:12

13 And Leah named him Asher, for she said, “What joy is mine! Now the other women will celebrate with me.”
Genesis 30:13

14 One day during the wheat harvest, Reuben found some mandrakes growing in a field and brought them to his mother, Leah. Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Genesis 30:14

15 But Leah angrily replied, “Wasn’t it enough that you stole my husband? Now will you steal my son’s mandrakes, too?”Rachel answered, “I will let Jacob sleep with you tonight if you give me some of the mandrakes.”
Genesis 30:15

16 So that evening, as Jacob was coming home from the fields, Leah went out to meet him. “You must come and sleep with me tonight!” she said. “I have paid for you with some mandrakes that my son found.” So that night he slept with Leah.
Genesis 30:16

17 And God answered Leah’s prayers. She became pregnant again and gave birth to a fifth son for Jacob.
Genesis 30:17

18 She named him Issachar, for she said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband as a wife.”
Genesis 30:18

19 Then Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob.
Genesis 30:19

20 She named him Zebulun, for she said, “God has given me a good reward. Now my husband will treat me with respect, for I have given him six sons.”
Genesis 30:20

21 Later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
Genesis 30:21

22 Then God remembered Rachel’s plight and answered her prayers by enabling her to have children.
Genesis 30:22

23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. “God has removed my disgrace,” she said.
Genesis 30:23

24 And she named him Joseph, for she said, “May the lord add yet another son to my family.”
Genesis 30:24

25 Soon after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Please release me so I can go home to my own country.
Genesis 30:25

26 Let me take my wives and children, for I have earned them by serving you, and let me be on my way. You certainly know how hard I have worked for you.”
Genesis 30:26

27 “Please listen to me,” Laban replied. “I have become wealthy, for the lord has blessed me because of you.
Genesis 30:27

28 Tell me how much I owe you. Whatever it is, I’ll pay it.”
Genesis 30:28

29 Jacob replied, “You know how hard I’ve worked for you, and how your flocks and herds have grown under my care.
Genesis 30:29

30 You had little indeed before I came, but your wealth has increased enormously. The lord has blessed you through everything I’ve done. But now, what about me? When can I start providing for my own family?”
Genesis 30:30

31 “What wages do you want?” Laban asked again.Jacob replied, “Don’t give me anything. Just do this one thing, and I’ll continue to tend and watch over your flocks.
Genesis 30:31

32 Let me inspect your flocks today and remove all the sheep and goats that are speckled or spotted, along with all the black sheep. Give these to me as my wages.
Genesis 30:32
