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.
