King James Version
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the Lord hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
30 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
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; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.

21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her.(A)”
22 So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast.(B) 23 But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah(C) and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her. 24 And Laban gave his servant Zilpah(D) to his daughter as her attendant.(E)
25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me?(F) I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?(G)”
26 Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one.(H) 27 Finish this daughter’s bridal week;(I) then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.(J)”
28 And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.(K) 29 Laban gave his servant Bilhah(L) to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.(M) 30 Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah.(N) And he worked for Laban another seven years.(O)
Jacob’s Children
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved,(P) he enabled her to conceive,(Q) but Rachel remained childless. 32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(R) She named him Reuben,[a](S) for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery.(T) Surely my husband will love me now.”
33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the Lord heard that I am not loved,(U) he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.[b](V)
34 Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me,(W) because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.[c](X)
35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah.[d](Y) Then she stopped having children.(Z)
30 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children,(AA) she became jealous of her sister.(AB) So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!”
2 Jacob became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God,(AC) who has kept you from having children?”(AD)
3 Then she said, “Here is Bilhah,(AE) my servant.(AF) Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.”(AG)
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife.(AH) Jacob slept with her,(AI) 5 and she became pregnant and bore him a son. 6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me;(AJ) he has listened to my plea and given me a son.”(AK) Because of this she named him Dan.[e](AL)
7 Rachel’s servant Bilhah(AM) conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.”(AN) So she named him Naphtali.[f](AO)
9 When Leah(AP) saw that she had stopped having children,(AQ) she took her servant Zilpah(AR) and gave her to Jacob as a wife.(AS) 10 Leah’s servant Zilpah(AT) bore Jacob a son. 11 Then Leah said, “What good fortune!”[g] So she named him Gad.[h](AU)
12 Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. 13 Then Leah said, “How happy I am! The women will call me(AV) happy.”(AW) So she named him Asher.[i](AX)
14 During wheat harvest,(AY) Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants,(AZ) which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15 But she said to her, “Wasn’t it enough(BA) that you took away my husband? Will you take my son’s mandrakes too?”
“Very well,” Rachel said, “he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”(BB)
16 So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You must sleep with me,” she said. “I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.”(BC) So he slept with her that night.
17 God listened to Leah,(BD) and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.”(BE) So she named him Issachar.[j](BF)
19 Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. 20 Then Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor,(BG) because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.[k](BH)
21 Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.(BI)
22 Then God remembered Rachel;(BJ) he listened to her(BK) and enabled her to conceive.(BL) 23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son(BM) and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”(BN) 24 She named him Joseph,[l](BO) and said, “May the Lord add to me another son.”(BP)
