Genesis 30:17-32 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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,

30. for [it is] little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?'

31. And he saith, `What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith, `Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;

32. I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats-- and it hath been my hire;
