20. Then Leah said, God has endowed me with a good marriage gift [for my husband]; now will he dwell with me [and regard me as his wife in reality], because I have borne him six sons; and she named him Zebulun [dwelling].
21. Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her Dinah.
22. Then God remembered Rachel and answered her pleading and made it possible for her to have children.
23. And [now for the first time] she became pregnant and bore a son; and she said, God has taken away my reproach, disgrace, and humiliation.
24. And she called his name Joseph [may he add] and said, May the Lord add to me another son.
25. When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place and country.
26. Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the work which I have done for you.
27. And Laban said to him, If I have found favor in your sight, I pray you [do not go]; for I have learned by experience and from the omens in divination that the Lord has favored me with blessings on your account.
28. He said, State your salary and I will give it.
29. Jacob answered him, You know how I have served you, and how your possessions, your cattle and sheep and goats, have fared with me.
30. For you had little before I came, and it has increased and multiplied abundantly; and the Lord has favored you with blessings wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own house also?
31. [Laban] said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me anything, if you will do this one thing for me [of which I am about to tell you], and I will again feed and take care of your flock.
