Genesis 30

KJV

1  And when Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ she bore Jacob no children,^{3205 3808 3290} Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ envied⁷⁰⁶⁵ her sister;²⁶⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jacob,³²⁹⁰ Give³⁰⁵¹ me children,¹¹²¹ or⁵¹⁸ else³⁶⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ die.⁴¹⁹¹

2  And Jacob's³²⁹⁰ anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Rachel:⁷³⁵⁴ and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Am I⁵⁹⁵ in God's⁴³⁰ stead,⁸⁴⁷⁸ who⁸³⁴ hath withheld⁴⁵¹³ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of the womb?⁹⁹⁰

3  And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ my maid⁵¹⁹ Bilhah,¹⁰⁹⁰ go in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her; and she shall bear³²⁰⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ my knees,¹²⁹⁰ that I⁵⁹⁵ may also¹⁵⁷¹ have children¹¹²⁹ by⁴⁴⁸⁰ her.

4  And she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him ⁸⁵³ Bilhah¹⁰⁹⁰ her handmaid⁸¹⁹⁸ to wife:⁸⁰² and Jacob³²⁹⁰ went in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her.

5  And Bilhah¹⁰⁹⁰ conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ Jacob³²⁹⁰ a son.¹¹²¹

6  And Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ said,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ hath judged¹⁷⁷⁷ me, and hath also¹⁵⁷¹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ me a son:¹¹²¹ therefore^{5921 3651} called⁷¹²¹ she his name⁸⁰³⁴ Dan.¹⁸³⁵

7  And Bilhah¹⁰⁹⁰ Rachel's⁷³⁵⁴ maid⁸¹⁹⁸ conceived²⁰²⁹ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and bore³²⁰⁵ Jacob³²⁹⁰ a second⁸¹⁴⁵ son.¹¹²¹

8  And Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ said,⁵⁵⁹ With great⁴³⁰ wrestlings⁵³¹⁹ have I wrestled⁶⁶¹⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ my sister,²⁶⁹ and¹⁵⁷¹ I have prevailed:³²⁰¹ and she called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Naphtali.⁵³²¹

9  When Leah³⁸¹² saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ she had left⁵⁹⁷⁵ bearing,^{4480 3205} she took^{3947 853} Zilpah²¹⁵³ her maid,⁸¹⁹⁸ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ her Jacob³²⁹⁰ to wife.⁸⁰²

10  And Zilpah²¹⁵³ Leah's³⁸¹² maid⁸¹⁹⁸ bore³²⁰⁵ Jacob³²⁹⁰ a son.¹¹²¹

11  And Leah³⁸¹² said,⁵⁵⁹ A troop cometh:¹⁴¹³ and she called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Gad.¹⁴¹⁰

12  And Zilpah²¹⁵³ Leah's³⁸¹² maid⁸¹⁹⁸ bore³²⁰⁵ Jacob³²⁹⁰ a second⁸¹⁴⁵ son.¹¹²¹

13  And Leah³⁸¹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Happy⁸³⁷ am I, for³⁵⁸⁸ the daughters¹³²³ will call me blessed:⁸³³ and she called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Asher.⁸³⁶

14  And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ went¹⁹⁸⁰ in the days³¹¹⁷ of wheat²⁴⁰⁶ harvest,⁷¹⁰⁵ and found⁴⁶⁷² mandrakes¹⁷³⁶ in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and brought⁹³⁵ them unto⁴¹³ his mother⁵¹⁷ Leah.³⁸¹² Then Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Leah,³⁸¹² Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ of thy son's¹¹²¹ mandrakes.^{4480 1736}

15  And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Is it a small matter⁴⁵⁹² that thou hast taken^{3947 853} my husband?³⁷⁶ and wouldest thou take away^{3947 853} my son's¹¹²¹ mandrakes¹⁷³⁶ also?¹⁵⁷¹ And Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ said,⁵⁵⁹ Therefore³⁶⁵¹ he shall lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee tonight³⁹¹⁵ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ thy son's¹¹²¹ mandrakes.¹⁷³⁶

16  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ came⁹³⁵ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ in the evening,⁶¹⁵³ and Leah³⁸¹² went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou must come in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ me; for³⁵⁸⁸ surely I have hired^{7936 7936} thee with my son's¹¹²¹ mandrakes.¹⁷³⁶ And he lay⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ her that¹⁹³¹ night.³⁹¹⁵

17  And God⁴³⁰ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ Leah,³⁸¹² and she conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ Jacob³²⁹⁰ the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ son.¹¹²¹

18  And Leah³⁸¹² said,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ me my hire,⁷⁹³⁹ because⁸³⁴ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ my maiden⁸¹⁹⁸ to my husband:³⁷⁶ and she called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Issachar.³⁴⁸⁵

19  And Leah³⁸¹² conceived²⁰²⁹ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and bore³²⁰⁵ Jacob³²⁹⁰ the sixth⁸³⁴⁵ son.¹¹²¹

20  And Leah³⁸¹² said,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ hath endued²⁰⁶⁴ me with a good²⁸⁹⁶ dowry;²⁰⁶⁵ now⁶⁴⁷¹ will my husband³⁷⁶ dwell with²⁰⁸² me, because³⁵⁸⁸ I have born³²⁰⁵ him six⁸³³⁷ sons:¹¹²¹ and she called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Zebulun.²⁰⁷⁴

21  And afterwards³¹⁰ she bore³²⁰⁵ a daughter,¹³²³ and called^{7121 853} her name⁸⁰³⁴ Dinah.¹⁷⁸³

22  And God⁴³⁰ remembered^{2142 853} Rachel,⁷³⁵⁴ and God⁴³⁰ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ her, and opened^{6605 853} her womb.⁷³⁵⁸

23  And she conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ hath taken away^{622 853} my reproach:²⁷⁸¹

24  And she called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Joseph;³¹³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall add³²⁵⁴ to me another³¹² son.¹¹²¹

25  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ had born^{3205 853} Joseph,³¹³⁰ that Jacob³²⁹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Laban,³⁸³⁷ Send me away,⁷⁹⁷¹ that I may go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ mine own place,⁴⁷²⁵ and to my country.⁷⁷⁶

26  Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me ⁸⁵³ my wives⁸⁰² and my children,³²⁰⁶ for whom^{834 2004} I have served⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee, and let me go:¹⁹⁸⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ knowest^{3045 853} my service⁵⁶⁵⁶ which⁸³⁴ I have done⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee.

27  And Laban³⁸³⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ if⁵¹⁸ I have found⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ in thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ tarry: for I have learned by experience⁵¹⁷² that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath blessed¹²⁸⁸ me for thy sake.¹⁵⁵⁸

28  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Appoint^{5344 5921} me thy wages,⁷⁹³⁹ and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ it.

29  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Thou⁸⁵⁹ knowest^{3045 853} how⁸³⁴ I have served⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee, and how⁸³⁴ thy cattle⁴⁷³⁵ was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁸⁵⁴ me.

30  For³⁵⁸⁸ it was little⁴⁵⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hadst¹⁹⁶¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ I came, and it is now increased⁶⁵⁵⁵ unto a multitude;⁷²³⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath blessed¹²⁸⁸ thee since my coming:⁷²⁷² and now⁶²⁵⁸ when⁴⁹⁷⁰ shall I⁵⁹⁵ provide⁶²¹³ for mine own house¹⁰⁰⁴ also?¹⁵⁷¹

31  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee? And Jacob³²⁹⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ give⁵⁴¹⁴ me any thing:³⁹⁷² if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt do⁶²¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ for me, I will again⁷⁷²⁵ feed⁷⁴⁶² and keep⁸¹⁰⁴ thy flock:⁶⁶²⁹

32  I will pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ thy flock⁶⁶²⁹ today,³¹¹⁷ removing⁵⁴⁹³ from thence^{4480 8033} all³⁶⁰⁵ the speckled⁵³⁴⁸ and spotted²⁹²¹ cattle,⁷⁷¹⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the brown²³⁴⁵ cattle⁷⁷¹⁶ among the sheep,³⁷⁷⁵ and the spotted²⁹²¹ and speckled⁵³⁴⁸ among the goats:⁵⁷⁹⁵ and of such shall be¹⁹⁶¹ my hire.⁷⁹³⁹

33  So shall my righteousness⁶⁶⁶⁶ answer⁶⁰³⁰ for me in time³¹¹⁷ to come,⁴²⁷⁹ when³⁵⁸⁸ it shall come⁹³⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ my hire⁷⁹³⁹ before thy face:⁶⁴⁴⁰ every one³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ is not³⁶⁹ speckled⁵³⁴⁸ and spotted²⁹²¹ among the goats,⁵⁷⁹⁵ and brown²³⁴⁵ among the sheep,³⁷⁷⁵ that¹⁹³¹ shall be counted stolen¹⁵⁸⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ me.

34  And Laban³⁸³⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ I would³⁸⁶³ it might be¹⁹⁶¹ according to thy word.¹⁶⁹⁷

35  And he removed⁵⁴⁹³ that¹⁹³¹ day^{3117 853} the he goats⁸⁴⁹⁵ that were ringstreaked⁶¹²⁴ and spotted,²⁹²¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the she goats⁵⁷⁹⁵ that were speckled⁵³⁴⁸ and spotted,²⁹²¹ and every one³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ had some white³⁸³⁶ in it, and all³⁶⁰⁵ the brown²³⁴⁵ among the sheep,³⁷⁷⁵ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of his sons.¹¹²¹

36  And he set⁷⁷⁶⁰ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days'³¹¹⁷ journey¹⁸⁷⁰ between⁹⁹⁶ himself and Jacob:³²⁹⁰ and Jacob³²⁹⁰ fed^{7462 853} the rest³⁴⁹⁸ of Laban's³⁸³⁷ flocks.⁶⁶²⁹

37  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ took³⁹⁴⁷ him rods⁴⁷³¹ of green³⁸⁹² poplar,³⁸³⁹ and of the hazel³⁸⁶⁹ and chestnut tree;⁶¹⁹⁶ and peeled⁶⁴⁷⁸ white³⁸³⁶ streaks⁶⁴⁷⁹ in them,²⁰⁰⁴ and made the white³⁸³⁶ appear⁴²⁸⁶ which⁸³⁴ was in⁵⁹²¹ the rods.⁴⁷³¹

38  And he set^{3322 853} the rods⁴⁷³¹ which⁸³⁴ he had peeled⁶⁴⁷⁸ before⁵²²⁷ the flocks⁶⁶²⁹ in the gutters⁷²⁹⁸ in the watering⁴³²⁵ troughs⁸²⁶⁸ when⁸³⁴ the flocks⁶⁶²⁹ came⁹³⁵ to drink,⁸³⁵⁴ that they should conceive³¹⁷⁹ when they came⁹³⁵ to drink.⁸³⁵⁴

39  And the flocks⁶⁶²⁹ conceived³¹⁷⁹ before⁴¹³ the rods,⁴⁷³¹ and brought forth³²⁰⁵ cattle⁶⁶²⁹ ringstreaked,⁶¹²⁴ speckled,⁵³⁴⁸ and spotted.²⁹²¹

40  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ did separate⁶⁵⁰⁴ the lambs,³⁷⁷⁵ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ the faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the flocks⁶⁶²⁹ toward⁴¹³ the ringstreaked,⁶¹²⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the brown²³⁴⁵ in the flock⁶⁶²⁹ of Laban;³⁸³⁷ and he put⁷⁸⁹⁶ his own flocks⁵⁷³⁹ by themselves,⁹⁰⁵ and put⁷⁸⁹⁶ them not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ Laban's³⁸³⁷ cattle.⁶⁶²⁹

41  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ whensoever³⁶⁰⁵ the stronger⁷¹⁹⁴ cattle⁶⁶²⁹ did conceive,³¹⁷⁹ that Jacob³²⁹⁰ laid^{7760 853} the rods⁴⁷³¹ before the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the cattle⁶⁶²⁹ in the gutters,⁷²⁹⁸ that they might conceive³¹⁷⁹ among the rods.⁴⁷³¹

42  But when the cattle⁶⁶²⁹ were feeble,⁵⁸⁴⁸ he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ them not³⁸⁰⁸ in: so the feebler⁵⁸⁴⁸ were¹⁹⁶¹ Laban's,³⁸³⁷ and the stronger⁷¹⁹⁴ Jacob's.³²⁹⁰

43  And the man³⁷⁶ increased⁶⁵⁵⁵ exceedingly,^{3966 3966} and had¹⁹⁶¹ much⁷²²⁷ cattle,⁶⁶²⁹ and maidservants,⁸¹⁹⁸ and menservants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and asses.²⁵⁴³

1 ἰδοῦσα δὲ Ραχηλ ὅτι οὐ τέτοκεν τῷ Ιακωβ καὶ ἐζήλωσεν Ραχηλ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιακωβ δός μοι τέκνα εἰ δὲ μή τελευτήσω ἐγώ

2 ἐθυμώθη δὲ Ιακωβ τῇ Ραχηλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ μὴ ἀντὶ θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι ὃς ἐστέρησέν σε καρπὸν κοιλίας

3 εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ τῷ Ιακωβ ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη μου Βαλλα εἴσελθε πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ τέξεται ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων μου καὶ τεκνοποιήσομαι κἀγὼ ἐξ αὐτῆς

4 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Βαλλαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα εἰσῆλθεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν Ιακωβ

5 καὶ συνέλαβεν Βαλλα ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχηλ καὶ ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱόν

6 καὶ εἶπεν Ραχηλ ἔκρινέν μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐπήκουσεν τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι υἱόν διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Δαν

7 καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Βαλλα ἡ παιδίσκη Ραχηλ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ιακωβ

8 καὶ εἶπεν Ραχηλ συνελάβετό μοι ὁ θεός καὶ συνανεστράφην τῇ ἀδελφῇ μου καὶ ἠδυνάσθην καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Νεφθαλι

9 εἶδεν δὲ Λεια ὅτι ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν καὶ ἔλαβεν Ζελφαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ιακωβ γυναῖκα

10 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν Ιακωβ καὶ συνέλαβεν Ζελφα ἡ παιδίσκη Λειας καὶ ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱόν

11 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια ἐν τύχῃ καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γαδ

12 καὶ συνέλαβεν Ζελφα ἡ παιδίσκη Λειας καὶ ἔτεκεν ἔτι τῷ Ιακωβ υἱὸν δεύτερον

13 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια μακαρία ἐγώ ὅτι μακαρίζουσίν με αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ασηρ

14 ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ρουβην ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ πυρῶν καὶ εὗρεν μῆλα μανδραγόρου ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ πρὸς Λειαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ τῇ Λεια δός μοι τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου

15 εἶπεν δὲ Λεια οὐχ ἱκανόν σοι ὅτι ἔλαβες τὸν ἄνδρα μου μὴ καὶ τοὺς μανδραγόρας τοῦ υἱοῦ μου λήμψῃ εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ οὐχ οὕτως κοιμηθήτω μετὰ σοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου

16 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ιακωβ ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Λεια εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν πρός με εἰσελεύσῃ σήμερον μεμίσθωμαι γάρ σε ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾽ αὐτῆς τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην

17 καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς Λειας καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱὸν πέμπτον

18 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν μισθόν μου ἀνθ᾽ οὗ ἔδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου τῷ ἀνδρί μου καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ισσαχαρ ὅ ἐστιν Μισθός

19 καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Λεια καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν ἕκτον τῷ Ιακωβ

20 καὶ εἶπεν Λεια δεδώρηταί μοι ὁ θεὸς δῶρον καλόν ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ αἱρετιεῖ με ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἔτεκον γὰρ αὐτῷ υἱοὺς ἕξ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζαβουλων

21 καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἔτεκεν θυγατέρα καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Δινα

22 ἐμνήσθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς τῆς Ραχηλ καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῆς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτῆς τὴν μήτραν

23 καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τῷ Ιακωβ υἱόν εἶπεν δὲ Ραχηλ ἀφεῖλεν ὁ θεός μου τὸ ὄνειδος

24 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιωσηφ λέγουσα προσθέτω ὁ θεός μοι υἱὸν ἕτερον

25 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἔτεκεν Ραχηλ τὸν Ιωσηφ εἶπεν Ιακωβ τῷ Λαβαν ἀπόστειλόν με ἵνα ἀπέλθω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου

26 ἀπόδος τὰς γυναῖκάς μου καὶ τὰ παιδία περὶ ὧν δεδούλευκά σοι ἵνα ἀπέλθω σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὴν δουλείαν ἣν δεδούλευκά σοι

27 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβαν εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου οἰωνισάμην ἄν εὐλόγησεν γάρ με ὁ θεὸς τῇ σῇ εἰσόδῳ

28 διάστειλον τὸν μισθόν σου πρός με καὶ δώσω

29 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ιακωβ σὺ γινώσκεις ἃ δεδούλευκά σοι καὶ ὅσα ἦν κτήνη σου μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ

30 μικρὰ γὰρ ἦν ὅσα σοι ἦν ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ καὶ ηὐξήθη εἰς πλῆθος καὶ ηὐλόγησέν σε κύριος ἐπὶ τῷ ποδί μου νῦν οὖν πότε ποιήσω κἀγὼ ἐμαυτῷ οἶκον

31 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λαβαν τί σοι δώσω εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ιακωβ οὐ δώσεις μοι οὐθέν ἐὰν ποιήσῃς μοι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο πάλιν ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ φυλάξω

32 παρελθάτω πάντα τὰ πρόβατά σου σήμερον καὶ διαχώρισον ἐκεῖθεν πᾶν πρόβατον φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀρνάσιν καὶ πᾶν διάλευκον καὶ ῥαντὸν ἐν ταῖς αἰξίν ἔσται μοι μισθός

33 καὶ ἐπακούσεταί μοι ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ αὔριον ὅτι ἐστὶν ὁ μισθός μου ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ῥαντὸν καὶ διάλευκον ἐν ταῖς αἰξὶν καὶ φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀρνάσιν κεκλεμμένον ἔσται παρ᾽ ἐμοί

34 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβαν ἔστω κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου

35 καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοὺς τράγους τοὺς ῥαντοὺς καὶ τοὺς διαλεύκους καὶ πάσας τὰς αἶγας τὰς ῥαντὰς καὶ τὰς διαλεύκους καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν λευκὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀρνάσιν καὶ ἔδωκεν διὰ χειρὸς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ

36 καὶ ἀπέστησεν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιακωβ Ιακωβ δὲ ἐποίμαινεν τὰ πρόβατα Λαβαν τὰ ὑπολειφθέντα

37 ἔλαβεν δὲ ἑαυτῷ Ιακωβ ῥάβδον στυρακίνην χλωρὰν καὶ καρυίνην καὶ πλατάνου καὶ ἐλέπισεν αὐτὰς Ιακωβ λεπίσματα λευκὰ περισύρων τὸ χλωρόν ἐφαίνετο δὲ ἐπὶ ταῖς ῥάβδοις τὸ λευκόν ὃ ἐλέπισεν ποικίλον

38 καὶ παρέθηκεν τὰς ῥάβδους ἃς ἐλέπισεν ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς τῶν ποτιστηρίων τοῦ ὕδατος ἵνα ὡς ἂν ἔλθωσιν τὰ πρόβατα πιεῖν ἐνώπιον τῶν ῥάβδων ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πιεῖν

39 ἐγκισσήσωσιν τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ῥάβδους καὶ ἔτικτον τὰ πρόβατα διάλευκα καὶ ποικίλα καὶ σποδοειδῆ ῥαντά

40 τοὺς δὲ ἀμνοὺς διέστειλεν Ιακωβ καὶ ἔστησεν ἐναντίον τῶν προβάτων κριὸν διάλευκον καὶ πᾶν ποικίλον ἐν τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καὶ διεχώρισεν ἑαυτῷ ποίμνια καθ᾽ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἔμιξεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα Λαβαν

41 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ᾧ ἐνεκίσσησεν τὰ πρόβατα ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα ἔθηκεν Ιακωβ τὰς ῥάβδους ἐναντίον τῶν προβάτων ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς τοῦ ἐγκισσῆσαι αὐτὰ κατὰ τὰς ῥάβδους

42 ἡνίκα δ᾽ ἂν ἔτεκον τὰ πρόβατα οὐκ ἐτίθει ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἄσημα τοῦ Λαβαν τὰ δὲ ἐπίσημα τοῦ Ιακωβ

43 καὶ ἐπλούτησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος σφόδρα σφόδρα καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ βόες καὶ παῖδες καὶ παιδίσκαι καὶ κάμηλοι καὶ ὄνοι

1 Cernens autem Rachel quod infecunda esset, invidit sorori suæ, et ait marito suo: Da mihi liberos, alioquin moriar.

2 Cui iratus respondit Jacob: Num pro Deo ego sum, qui privavit te fructu ventris tui?

3 At illa: Habeo, inquit, famulam Balam: ingredere ad illam, ut pariat super genua mea, et habeam ex illa filios.

4 Deditque illi Balam in conjugium: quæ,

5 ingresso ad se viro, concepit, et peperit filium.

6 Dixitque Rachel: Judicavit mihi Dominus, et exaudivit vocem meam, dans mihi filium, et idcirco appellavit nomen ejus Dan.

7 Rursumque Bala concipiens, peperit alterum,

8 pro quo ait Rachel: Comparavit me Deus cum sorore mea, et invalui: vocavitque eum Nephthali.

9 Sentiens Lia quod parere desiisset, Zelpham ancillam suam marito tradidit.

10 Qua post conceptum edente filium,

11 dixit: Feliciter, et idcirco vocavit nomen ejus Gad.

12 Peperit quoque Zelpha alterum.

13 Dixitque Lia: Hoc pro beatitudine mea: beatam quippe me dicent mulieres: propterea appellavit eum Aser.

14 Egressus autem Ruben tempore messis triticeæ in agrum, reperit mandragoras, quas matri Liæ detulit. Dixitque Rachel: Da mihi partem de mandragoris filii tui.

15 Illa respondit: Parumne tibi videtur quod præripueris maritum mihi, nisi etiam mandragoras filii mei tuleris? Ait Rachel: Dormiat tecum hac nocte pro mandragoris filii tui.

16 Redeuntique ad vesperam Jacob de agro, egressa est in occursum ejus Lia, et Ad me, inquit, intrabis: quia mercede conduxi te pro mandragoris filii mei. Dormivitque cum ea nocte illa.

17 Et exaudivit Deus preces ejus, concepitque et peperit filium quintum,

18 et ait: Dedit Deus mercedem mihi, quia dedi ancillam meam viro meo: appellavitque nomen ejus Issachar.

19 Rursum Lia concipiens, peperit sextum filium,

20 et ait: Dotavit me Deus dote bona: etiam hac vice mecum erit maritus meus, eo quod genuerim ei sex filios: et idcirco appellavit nomen ejus Zabulon.

21 Post quem peperit filiam, nomine Dinam.

22 Recordatus quoque Dominus Rachelis, exaudivit eam, et aperuit vulvam ejus.

23 Quæ concepit, et peperit filium, dicens: Abstulit Deus opprobrium meum.

24 Et vocavit nomen ejus Joseph, dicens: Addat mihi Dominus filium alterum.

25 Nato autem Joseph, dixit Jacob socero suo: Dimitte me ut revertar in patriam, et ad terram meam.

26 Da mihi uxores, et liberos meos, pro quibus servivi tibi, ut abeam: tu nosti servitutem qua servivi tibi.

27 Ait illi Laban: Inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo, experimento didici, quia benedixerit mihi Deus propter te:

28 constitue mercedem tuam quam dem tibi.

29 At ille respondit: Tu nosti quomodo servierim tibi, et quanta in manibus meis fuerit possessio tua.

30 Modicum habuisti antequam venirem ad te, et nunc dives effectus es: benedixitque tibi Dominus ad introitum meum. Justum est igitur ut aliquando provideam etiam domui meæ.

31 Dixitque Laban: Quid tibi dabo? At ille ait: Nihil volo: sed si feceris quod postulo, iterum pascam, et custodiam pecora tua.

32 Gyra omnes greges tuos, et separa cunctas oves varias, et sparso vellere; quodcumque furvum, et maculosum, variumque fuerit, tam in ovibus quam in capris, erit merces mea.

33 Respondebitque mihi cras justitia mea, quando placiti tempus advenerit coram te: et omnia quæ non fuerint varia, et maculosa, et furva, tam in ovibus quam in capris, furti me arguent.

34 Dixitque Laban: Gratum habeo quod petis.

35 Et separavit in die illa capras, et oves, et hircos, et arietes varios, atque maculosos: cunctum autem gregem unicolorem, id est albi et nigri velleris, tradidit in manu filiorum suorum.

36 Et posuit spatium itineris trium dierum inter se et generum, qui pascebat reliquos greges ejus.

37 Tollens ergo Jacob virgas populeas virides, et amygdalinas, et ex platanis, ex parte decorticavit eas: detractisque corticibus, in his, quæ spoliata fuerant, candor apparuit: illa vero quæ integra fuerant, viridia permanserunt: atque in hunc modum color effectus est varius.

38 Posuitque eas in canalibus, ubi effundebatur aqua: ut cum venissent greges ad bibendum, ante oculos haberent virgas, et in aspectu earum conciperent.

39 Factumque est ut in ipso calore coitus, oves intuerentur virgas, et parerent maculosa, et varia, et diverso colore respersa.

40 Divisitque gregem Jacob, et posuit virgas in canalibus ante oculos arietum: erant autem alba et nigra quæque, Laban; cetera vero, Jacob, separatis inter se gregibus.

41 Igitur quando primo tempore ascendebantur oves, ponebat Jacob virgas in canalibus aquarum ante oculos arietum et ovium, ut in earum contemplatione conciperent:

42 quando vero serotina admissura erat, et conceptus extremus, non ponebat eas. Factaque sunt ea quæ erant serotina, Laban: et quæ primi temporis, Jacob.

43 Ditatusque est homo ultra modum, et habuit greges multos, ancillas et servos, camelos et asinos.
