Genesis 30

6 Ref Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

7 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

8 Ref And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

9 Ref When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

10 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

11 Ref And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

13 Ref And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

14 Ref Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

15 Ref But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

16 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

17 Ref And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

18 Ref Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

19 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.

20 Ref And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

21 Ref After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.

22 Ref Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.

23 Ref And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

24 Ref And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.
