Genesis 30:21-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.

22. The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.

23. And she conceived and bore a son, saying, "God has taken away my reproach."

24. And she called his name Joseph, saying, "The Lord has added to me another son."

25. But when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: "Release me, so that I may return to my native country and to my land.

26. Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served you, so that I may depart. You know the servitude with which I have served you."

27. Laban said to him: "May I find grace in your sight. I have learned by experience that God has blessed me because of you.

28. Choose your wages, which I will give you."
