Genesis 30:14-26 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

14. And Reuben goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, `Give to me, I pray thee, of the love-apples of thy son.'

15. And she saith to her, `Is thy taking my husband a little thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?' and Rachel saith, `Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night, for thy son's love-apples.'

16. And Jacob cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah goeth to meet him, and saith, `Unto me dost thou come in, for hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he lieth with her during that night.

17. And God hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth,

18. and Leah saith, `God hath given my hire, because I have given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth his name Issachar.

19. And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,

20. and Leah saith, `God hath endowed me--a good dowry; this time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun;

21. and afterwards hath she born a daughter, and calleth her name Dinah.

22. And God remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her, and openeth her womb,

23. and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, `God hath gathered up my reproach;'

24. and she calleth his name Joseph, saying, `Jehovah is adding to me another son.'

25. And it cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that Jacob saith unto Laban, `Send me away, and I go unto my place, and to my land;

26. give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou- -thou hast known my service which I have served thee.'
