New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”(A) 22 So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast.(B) 23 But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her. 24 (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.) 25 When morning came, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?” 26 Laban said, “This is not done in our country—giving the younger before the firstborn. 27 Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”(C) 28 Jacob did so and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as a wife. 29 (Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maid.) 30 So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He served Laban[a] for another seven years.(D)
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.(E) 32 Leah conceived and bore a son, and she named him Reuben,[b] for she said, “Because the Lord has looked on my affliction, surely now my husband will love me.”(F) 33 She conceived again and bore a son and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also,” and she named him Simeon.[c] 34 Again she conceived and bore a son and said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons”; therefore he was named Levi.[d](G) 35 She conceived again and bore a son and said, “This time I will praise the Lord,” therefore she named him Judah;[e] then she ceased bearing.(H)
30 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister, and she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I shall die!”(I) 2 Jacob became very angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”(J) 3 Then she said, “Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees and that I too may have children through her.”(K) 4 So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.(L) 5 And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6 Then Rachel said, “God has judged me and has also heard my voice and given me a son”; therefore she named him Dan.[f](M) 7 Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8 Then Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed,” so she named him Naphtali.[g](N)
9 When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.(O) 10 Then Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, “Good fortune!” So she named him Gad.[h] 12 Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. 13 And Leah said, “Happy am I! For the women will call me happy,” so she named him Asher.[i](P)
14 In the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”(Q) 15 But she said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also?” Rachel said, “Then he may lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”(R) 16 When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come in to me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he lay with her that night. 17 And God heeded Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire because I gave my maid to my husband,” so she named him Issachar.[j] 19 And Leah conceived again, and she bore Jacob a sixth son. 20 Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons,” so she named him Zebulun.[k](S) 21 Afterwards she bore a daughter and named her Dinah.
22 Then God remembered Rachel, and God heeded her and opened her womb.(T) 23 She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach,”(U) 24 and she named him Joseph,[l] saying, “May the Lord add to me another son!”(V)

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)
