Genesis 30:22-32 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

22. And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

23. And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.

24. And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.

25. And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.

26. Give me my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.

27. And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes--I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.

28. And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.

29. And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.

30. For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house?

31. And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:

32. I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and that shall be my hire.
