Ἰδοῦσα δὲ Ῥαχὴλ ὅτι οὐ τέτοκεν τῷ Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἐζήλωσεν Ῥαχὴλ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ἰακωβ Δός μοι τέκνα· εἰ δὲ μή,
τελευτήσω ἐγώ.

ἐθυμώθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῇ Ῥαχὴλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Μῆ
ἀντὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι, ὃς ἐστέρησέν σε καρπὸν κοιλίας ;

εἶπεν δὲ ¹² Ῥαχὴλ τῷ Ἰακώβ Ἴδου ἡ παιδίσκη μου Βάλλα, εἴσελθε πρὸς καὶ τέξεται ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων μου, ἵνα τεκνοποιήσωμαι κἀγὼ ἐξ αὐτῆς.

καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Βάλλαν τὴν παιδίσκην κἠν αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἰακώβ·

καὶ συνέλαβεν Βάλλα ἡ παιδίσκη
Ραχήλ καὶ ἔτεκεν τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν.

καὶ εἶπεν Ῥαχήλ Ἔκρινέν μοι
ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐπήκουσεν τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι υἱόν. διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Δάν.

καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι Βάλλα ἡ παιδίσκη
ὴλ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν δεύτερον τῷ Ἰακώβ.

καὶ εἶπεν Ῥαχήλ Συνεὁ
θεός, καὶ συνανεστράφην τῇ ἀδελφῇ μου, καὶ ἠδυνάσθην. τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Νεφθαλεί.

ἴδεν δὲ Λεία ὅτι ἔστη τοῦ
τίκτειν, καὶ ἔλαβεν Ζέλφαν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν Ιακὼβ γυναῖκα.

εἰσῆλθεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἰακώβ· καὶ συνέλαβεν
Ζέλφα ἡ παιδίσκη Λείας καὶ ἔτεκεν τῶ Ἰακὼβ υἱόν.

καὶ εἶπεν Λεία
Εν τύχῃ· καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γάδ.

καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι
Ζέλφα ἡ παιδίσκη λείας καὶ ἔτεκεν ἔτι τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱὸν

καὶ εἶπεν λεία Μακαρία ἐγώ, ὅτι μακαρίζουσίν με πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες·
κα ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀσήρ.

ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ῥουβὴν
ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ πυρῶν καὶ εὗρεν μῆλα μανδραγόρου ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ πρὸς Λείαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ Ραχὴλ τῇ Λείᾳ Δός μοι τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου.

εἶπεν δὲ
Λεία οὐχ ἱκανόν σοι ὅτι ἔλαβες τὸν ἄνδρα μου ; μὴ καὶ τοὺς μανδραγόρας τοῦ υἱοῦ μου λήμψῃ; εἶπεν δὲ Ῥαχήλ οὐχ οὕτως· κοίμηθήτω μετὰ σοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου.

εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Λεία εἰς συνάναὐτῷ
καὶ εἶπεν Πρὸς ἐμὲ εἰσελεύσῃ σήμερον· μεμίσθωμαι γάρ σε ἀντὶ τῶν μανδραγορῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου· καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ’ αὐτῆς τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην.

καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῆς ὁ θεός, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν
τῷ Ἰακὼβ υἱὸν πέμπτον.

καὶ εἶπεν Λεία Δέδωκέν μοι ὁ θεὸς τὸν
μισθόν μου ἀνθ’ ὧν ἔδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου τῷ ἀνδρί μου· καὶ ἐκά- λεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσσαχάρ, ὅ ἐστιν Μισθός.

καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι
³
Λεία καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν ἕκτον τῷ Ἰακώβ.

καὶ εἶπεν Λεία Δεδώρηται ὁ ⁴ θεός μοι δῶρον καλόν· ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ αἱρετιεῖ με ὁ ἀνήρ μου, τέτοκα
γὰρ αὐτῷ υἱοὺς ἕξ· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζαβουλών.

καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἔτεκεν θυγατέρα, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Δεινά. καὶ
ἔστη τοῦ τίκτειν.

ἐμνήσθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς Ῥαχήλ· καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῆς
ὁ θεός, καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτῆς τὴν μήτραν·

καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν
Ἰακὼβ υἱόν. εἶπεν δὲ Ραχήλ Ἀφεῖλεν ὁ θεός μου τὸ ὄνειδος·

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωσὴφ λέγουσα Προσθέτω ὁ θεός μοι υἱὸν
ρον.

Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἔτεκεν Ῥαχὴλ τὸν ἸωσήΦ, εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ Λαβάν Ἁπόστειλόν με ἵνα ἀπέλθω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν
μου.

ἀπόδος μοι τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ παιδία, περὶ ὧν σοι, ἵνα ἀπέλθω· σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὴν δουλίαν ἣν δεδούλευκά σοι.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβάν Εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, οἰωνισάμην ἄν·
εὐλόγησεν γάρ με ὁ θεὸς τῇ σῇ εἰσόδῳ.

διάστειλον τὸν μισθόν σου
πρὸς μέ, καὶ δώσω σοι.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ Σὺ γινώσκεις
δεδούλευκά σοι, καὶ ὅσα ἦν κτήνη σου μετ’ ἐμοῦ.

μικρὰ γὰρ ἦν ἦν ἐναντίον μου, καὶ ηὐξήθη εἰς πλῆθος· καὶ ηὐλόγησέν σε Κύριος ἐπὶ
τῷ ποδί μου. νῦν οὖν πότε ποιήσω κἀγὼ ἐμαυτῷ οἶκον ;

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λαβάν Τί σοι δώσω; εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ Οὐ δώσεις μοι οὐθέν· ἐὰν ποιήσεις μοι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, πάλιν ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ
φυλάξω.

παρελθάτω τὰ πρόβατά σου σήμερον, καὶ ἐκεῖθεν πᾶν πρόβατον φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἄρνασιν καὶ πᾶν διάραντον καὶ
λευκὸν ἐν ταῖς αἰξίν· ἱστᾶι μοι μισθός.

καὶ ἐπακούσεταί μοι ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου ἐν τῆ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ αὔριον, ὅτι ἐστὶν ὁ μισθός μου ἐνώπιόν σου· πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ῥαντὸν καὶ διάλευκον ἐν ταῖς αἰξὶν καὶ φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς
ἄρνασιν, κεκλεμμένον ἔσται παρ’ ἐμοί.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Λαβόν ⁵⁶ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου.

καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοὺς τράγους
τοὺς ῥαντοὺς καὶ τοὺς διαλεύκους, καὶ πάσας τὰς αἶγας τὰς ῥαντὰς καὶ τὰς διαλεύκους, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν λευκὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἦν φαιὸν ἐν τοῖς ἄρνασιν, καὶ ἔδωκεν διὰ χειρὸς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἀπέστησεν
ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰακώβ· Ἰακὼβ ⁷ δὲ ἐποίμαινεν ¶ τὰ πρόβατα Λαβὰν τὰ ὑπολειφθέντα.

ἔλαβεν δὲ
αὐτῷ Ἰακὼβ ῥάβδον στυρακίνην χλωρὰν καὶ καρυίνην καὶ πλατάνου, καὶ ἐλέπισεν αὐτὰς Ἰακὼβ λεπίσματα λευκά, περισύρων τὸ χλωρόν· ἐφαίνετο δὲ ἐπὶ ταῖς ῥάβδοις τὸ λευκὸν ὃ ἐλέπισεν ποικίλον.

καὶ παρέθηκεν τὰς ῥάβδους ἃς ἐλέπισεν ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς τῶν τοῦ ὕδατος, ἵνα ὡς ἄν ἔλθωσιν τὰ πρόβατα πιεῖν, ἐνώπιον τῶν καὶ ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πιεῖν, ἐνκισσήσωσιν τὰ πρόβατα εἰς τὰς ῥάβδους.

καὶ ἔτικτον τὰ πρόβατα διάλευκα καὶ ποικίλα καὶ σποδοειδῆ
ῥαντά.

τοὺς δὲ ἀμνοὺς διέστειλεν Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἔστησεν ἔναν.
τίον τῶν προβάτων κριὸν διάλευκον καὶ πᾶν ποικίλον ἐν τοῖς ἀμνοῖς· καὶ διεχώρισεν ἑαυτῷ ποίμνια καθ’ ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔμιξεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα Λαβάν.

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ᾧ ἐνεκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα
ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα, ἔθηκεν Ἰακὼβ τὰς ῥάβδους ἐναντίον τῶν προ- βάτων ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς, τοῦ ἐνκισσῆαι αὐτὰ κατὰ τὰς ῥάβδους·

ἡνίκα γὰρ ἔτεκον τὰ πρόβατα, οὐκ ἐτίθει· ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἄσημα τοῦ Λαβάν, τὰ δὲ ἐπίσημα τοῦ Ἰακώβ.

καὶ ἐπλούτησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος σφόδρα
σφόδρα· καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ βόες καὶ παῖδες καὶ παι- δίσκοι καὶ κάμηλοι καὶ ὄνοι.

Genesis Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 30 focus

When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I will die.

Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel , and he said, Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?

She said, Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.

She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son. Therefore called she his name Dan.

Bilhah, Rachel ’s handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed. She named him Naphtali.

When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

Zilpah, Leah ’s handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

Leah said, How fortunate! She named him Gad.

Zilpah, Leah ’s handmaid, bore Jacob a second son.

Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy. She named him Asher .

Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, 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.

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, Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.

Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes. He lay with her that night.

God listened to Leah , and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. She named him Issachar.

Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons. She named him Zebulun.

Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

God remembered Rachel , and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

She conceived, bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.

She named him Joseph, saying, May Yahweh add another son to me.

It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban , Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service with which I have served you.

Laban said to him, If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.

He said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.

He said to him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me.

For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?

He said, What shall I give you? Jacob said, You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.

I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.

So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Everyone that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen.

Laban said, Behold, I desire it to be according to your word.

That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban ’s flocks.

Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.

The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.

Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban : and he put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban ’s flock.

It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;

but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban ’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.

The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and donkeys.
