dwell with me;’Genesis 29:20and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.Genesis 29:21And Jacob saith unto Laban, ‘Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;’Genesis 29:22and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet.Genesis 29:23And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her;Genesis 29:24and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant.Genesis 29:25And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it is Leah; and he saith unto Laban, ‘What is this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?’Genesis 29:26And Laban saith, ‘It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born;Genesis 29:27fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.’Genesis 29:28And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;Genesis 29:29and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.Genesis 29:30And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.Genesis 30:27And Laban saith unto him, ‘If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes—I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.’Genesis 30:28He saith also, ‘Define thy hire to me, and I give.’Genesis 30:29And he saith unto him, ‘Thou—thou hast known that which I have served thee in, and that which thy substance was with me;Genesis 30:30for it is little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?’Genesis 30:31And he saith, ‘What do I give to thee?’ And Jacob saith, ‘Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;Genesis 30:32I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats—and it hath been my hire;Genesis 30:33and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face;—every one which is not speckled and spotted among my goats, and brown among my lambs—it is stolen with me.’Genesis 30:34And Laban saith, ‘Lo, O that it were according to thy word;’Genesis 30:35and he turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that hath white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons,Genesis 30:36and setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.Genesis 30:37And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that is on the rods,Genesis 30:38and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink;Genesis 30:39and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.Genesis 30:40And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban’s flock.Genesis 30:41And it hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by the rods,Genesis 30:42and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set them;

yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;’Genesis 31:2and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.Genesis 31:3And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, ‘Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.’Genesis 31:4And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;Genesis 31:5and saith to them, ‘I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,Genesis 31:6and ye—ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,Genesis 31:7and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.Genesis 31:8‘If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-streaked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-streaked;Genesis 31:9and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.Genesis 31:10And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, are ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled;Genesis 31:11and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here am I.Genesis 31:12And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see—all the he-goats which are going up on the flock are ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;Genesis 31:13I am the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.’Genesis 31:14And Rachel answereth—Leah also—and saith to him, ‘Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?Genesis 31:15have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;Genesis 31:16for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it is ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God hath said unto thee—do.’
