Genesis
| Genesis 30:20 |
And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. |
| Genesis 30:21 |
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. |
| Genesis 30:22 |
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. |
| Genesis 30:23 |
And she conceived, and bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach: |
| Genesis 30:24 |
and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son. |
| Genesis 30:25 |
And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. |
| Genesis 30:26 |
Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee. |
| Genesis 30:27 |
And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry] : [for] I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake. |
| Genesis 30:28 |
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. |
| Genesis 30:29 |
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me. |
| Genesis 30:30 |
For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? |
| Genesis 30:31 |
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it. |
| Genesis 30:32 |
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire. |
| Genesis 30:33 |
So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, [if found] with me, shall be counted stolen. |
| Genesis 30:34 |
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. |
| Genesis 30:35 |
And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons; |
| Genesis 30:36 |
and he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. |
| Genesis 30:37 |
And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. |
| Genesis 30:38 |
And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink. |
| Genesis 30:39 |
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted. |
| Genesis 30:40 |
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock. |
| Genesis 30:41 |
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods; |
| Genesis 30:42 |
but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. |
| Genesis 30:43 |
And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses. |
| Genesis 31:1 |
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. |
| Genesis 31:2 |
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime. |
| Genesis 31:3 |
And Jehovah said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. |
| Genesis 31:4 |
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, |
| Genesis 31:5 |
and said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me. |
| Genesis 31:6 |
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. |
| Genesis 31:7 |
And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. |
| Genesis 31:8 |
If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages; then bare all the flock ringstreaked. |
| Genesis 31:9 |
Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. |
| Genesis 31:10 |
And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled. |
| Genesis 31:11 |
And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here am I. |
| Genesis 31:12 |
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. |
| Genesis 31:13 |
I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity. |
| Genesis 31:14 |
And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? |
| Genesis 31:15 |
Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our money. |
| Genesis 31:16 |
For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. |
| Genesis 31:17 |
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels; |
| Genesis 31:18 |
and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan. |
| Genesis 31:19 |
Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's. |
| Genesis 31:20 |
And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. |
| Genesis 31:21 |
So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead. |
| Genesis 31:22 |
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. |
| Genesis 31:23 |
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead. |
| Genesis 31:24 |
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. |
| Genesis 31:25 |
And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brethren encamped in the mountain of Gilead. |
| Genesis 31:26 |
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword? |
