Genesis 30:17-29 English Standard Version (ESV)

17. And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18. Leah said, “God has given me my wages because I gave my servant to my husband.” So she called his name Issachar.

19. And Leah conceived again, and she bore Jacob a sixth son.

20. Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she called his name Zebulun.

21. Afterward she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.

22. Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.

23. She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”

24. And she called his name Joseph, saying, “May the Lord add to me another son!”

25. As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country.

26. Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, that I may go, for you know the service that I have given you.”

27. But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your sight, I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you.

28. Name your wages, and I will give it.”

29. Jacob said to him, “You yourself know how I have served you, and how your livestock has fared with me.
