² And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

³⁰ And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

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

²³ And she conceived, and bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

²⁴ and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son.

³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.

¹⁷ And they shall be mine, saith Jehovah of hosts, `even' mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
