20. Leah said, “God has presented me with a beautiful present. This time my husband will honor me because I have given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun [Honor].
21. Later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22. Then God remembered Rachel. God answered her prayer and made it possible for her to have children.
23. So she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then she said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”
24. She named him Joseph [May He Give Another] and said, “May the Lord give me another son.”
25. After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me go home to my own country.
26. Give me my wives and my children for whom I’ve worked, and let me go. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”
27. Laban replied, “Listen to me. I’ve learned from the signs I’ve seen that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
28. So he offered, “Name your wages, and I’ll pay them.”
29. Jacob responded, “You know how much work I’ve done for you and what has happened to your livestock under my care.
30. The little that you had before I came has grown to a large amount. The Lord has blessed you wherever I’ve been. When can I do something for my own family?”
31. Laban asked, “What should I give you?”“Don’t give me anything,” Jacob answered. “Instead, do something for me, then I’ll go back to taking care of and watching your flocks again.
32. Let me go through all of your flocks today and take every speckled or spotted sheep, every black lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages.
