29:24-30:13

[29:24] And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid. [29:25] And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? [29:26] And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born. [29:27] Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. [29:28] And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife. [29:29] And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid. [29:30] And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. [29:31] And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. [29:32] And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me. [29:33] And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. [29:34] And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. [29:35] And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise Jehovah: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left off bearing. [30:1] And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. [30:2] And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? [30:3] And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her. [30:4] And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. [30:5] And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. [30:6] And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. [30:7] And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. [30:8] And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. [30:9] When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife. [30:10] And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son. [30:11] And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad. [30:12] And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a second son. [30:13] And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: and she called his name Asher.
