Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
Read word by wordAnd once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
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 wordWhen Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
Read word by word“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
Read word by word“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
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 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 wordThen he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
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 wordWhenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
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 wordSo Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
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 wordIn that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
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 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 wordNow while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household 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 wordBut Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?
Read word by wordand he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
Read word by wordThen Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
Read word by wordIt was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
Read word by wordLaban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
Read word by wordThis mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.
