Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
Read word by wordThen Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
Read word by wordBut Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
Read word by wordAfter that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
Read word by wordNow after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
Read word by wordGive me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
Read word by wordAnd he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
Read word by wordThen Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
Read word by wordIndeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
Read word by wordLet me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
Read word by wordSo my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
Read word by wordThat very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
Read word by wordThen he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Read word by wordJacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
Read word by wordthey mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
Read word by wordJacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
Read word by wordBut if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
Read word by wordThus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
Read word by wordNow Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
Read word by wordAnd Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
Read word by wordThen the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
Read word by wordSo Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
Read word by wordand he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.
Read word by wordYou know that I have served your father with all my strength.
Read word by wordAnd although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
Read word by wordIf he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.
Read word by wordWhen the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
Read word by word‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
Read word by wordI am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up, leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
Read word by wordAnd Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
Read word by wordSurely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
Read word by wordThen Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
Read word by wordand he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.
Read word by wordNow while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
Read word by wordSo he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
Read word by wordNow Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
Read word by wordWhy did you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
Read word by wordBut you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
Read word by wordI have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
Read word by wordNow you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
Read word by wordIf you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
Read word by wordSo Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
Read word by wordNow Rachel had taken Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.
Read word by wordRachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched but could not find the household idols.
Read word by wordYou have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
Read word by wordI have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.
Read word by wordI did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.
Read word by wordAs it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
Read word by wordThus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!
Read word by wordIf the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
