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.'
27. And Laban saith unto him, `If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes--I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'
28. He saith also, `Define thy hire to me, and I give.'
29. And he saith unto him, `Thou--thou hast known that which I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was with me;
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;
33. and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; --every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs--it is stolen with me.'
34. And Laban saith, `Lo, O that it were according to thy word;'
35. and he turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons,
36. and setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.
37. And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] on the rods,
38. and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink;
39. and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.
40. And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.
