Bereshis 30:15-35 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my ish? And wouldest thou take away the duda'im of beni also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee halailah (tonight) for the duda'im of thy ben.

16. And Ya'akov came in from the sadeh ba'erev, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with duda'im of beni. And he lay with her that night.

17. And Elohim paid heed unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Ya'akov ben chamishi.

18. And Leah said, Elohim hath given me my hire, because I have given my shifchah to my ish; and she called shmo Yissakhar.

19. And Leah conceived again, and bore Ya'akov ben shishi.

20. And Leah said, Elohim hath endued me with a zeved tov (good endowment); now will my ish zabal (honor) me, because I have born him shisha banim; and she called shmo Zevulun.

21. And afterwards she bore a bat, and called her shem Dinah.

22. And Elohim remembered Rachel, and Elohim paid heed to her, and opened her rekhem (womb).

23. And she conceived, and bore ben; and said, Elohim hath taken away my cherpah (shame, disgrace, reproach);

24. And she called shmo Yosef; and said, yosef (may He add), may Hashem add me ben acher (another son).

25. And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Yosef, that Ya'akov said unto Lavan, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own makom (place, home) and to my eretz.

26. Give me my nashim and my yeladim, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my avodah which I have done thee.

27. And Lavan said unto him, Now, if I have found chen (favor, grace) in thine eyes, tarry; for I have learned by nachash (divination) that Hashem hath made a berakhah upon me for thy sake.

28. And he said, Specify thy sachar (wages, reward), and I will pay it.

29. And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy mikneh fared with me

30. For it was me'at (little) which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and Hashem hath made a berakhah upon thee since my coming; and now when shall I do for mine own bais also?

31. And he said, What shall I give thee? And Ya'akov said, Thou shalt not give me any thing; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend and be shomer over thy tzon.

32. I will pass through all thy tzon today, removing from there speckled and spotted seh, and every dark seh among the kesavim, and the spotted and speckled among the izzim; and of such shall be my sachar.

33. So shall my tzedakah answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my sachar before thy face; every one that is not speckled and spotted among the izzim, and dark among the kesavim, that shall be counted a ganav's with me.

34. And Lavan said, Agreed, I would it might be according to thy davar.

35. And he removed that day the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the izzim that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some lavan in it, and all the dark among the kesavim, and gave them into the yad of his banim.
