Genesis 30:18-32 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.

19. And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,

20. And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.

21. After whom she bore a daughter, named Diana.

22. The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.

23. And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken my reproach.

24. And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.

25. And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.

26. Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.

27. Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.

28. Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.

29. But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.

30. Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.

31. And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.

32. Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
