17. And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18. And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.
19. And Leah again conceived, and bore Jacob a sixth son;
20. and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.
21. And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22. And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
23. And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.
24. And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.
25. And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.
26. Give me my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.
27. And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes--I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.
28. And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.
29. And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.
30. For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my house?
31. And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
32. I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and that shall be my hire.
33. And my righteousness shall answer for me hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that be stolen with me.
34. And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
