CHAPTER 30
Genesis 30:1
1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her
sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. Genesis 30:2 2
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead,
who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? Genesis 30:3 3 And she said,
Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon
my knees, that I may also have children by her. Genesis 30:4 4 And she gave him
Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. Genesis 30:5
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. Genesis 30:6 6 And Rachel said,
God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath
given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. Genesis 30:7 7 And Bilhah
Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. Genesis 30:8
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I
have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. Genesis 30:9 9 When Leah saw
that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave
her Jacob to wife.
Genesis 30:10
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. Genesis 30:11 11 And Leah said, A
troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. Genesis 30:12 12 And Zilpah Leah's
maid bare Jacob a second son. Genesis 30:13 13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for
the daughters will call me blessed: and she
called his name Asher.
Genesis 30:14
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the
field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said  to Leah, Give
me,  I pray thee, of thy son's  mandrakes. Genesis 30:15 15 And she said unto
her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband?
and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore
he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's  mandrakes. Genesis 30:16 16 And
Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and
said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my
son's mandrakes.  And he lay  with her that night. Genesis 30:17 17 And God
hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
Genesis 30:18
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to
my husband: and she called his name Issachar. Genesis 30:19 19 And Leah
conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. Genesis 30:20 20 And Leah said,
God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me,
because I have born him six sons: and she called  his name Zebulun.
Genesis 30:21
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. Genesis 30:22
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Genesis 30:23
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my
reproach:
Genesis 30:24
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another
son.
Genesis 30:25
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto
Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
Genesis 30:26
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me
go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. Genesis 30:27 27 And
Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes,
tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy
sake.
Genesis 30:28
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. Genesis 30:29 29 And
he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was
with me.
Genesis 30:30
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased
unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when
shall I provide for mine own house also? Genesis 30:31 31 And he said, What
shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me
any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy
flock:
Genesis 30:32
32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the
speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the
spotted and speckled among the goats:  and of such shall be my hire. Genesis
30:33
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come
for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among
the goats, and brown among the sheep,  that shall be counted stolen with me.
Genesis 30:34
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. Genesis
30:35
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and
all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some
white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of
his sons.
Genesis 30:36
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the
rest of Laban's flocks.
Genesis 30:37
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree;
and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the
rods.
Genesis 30:38
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in
the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive
when they came  to drink.
Genesis 30:39
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle
ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. Genesis 30:40 40 And Jacob did separate the
lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the
ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks
 by themselves, and put  them not unto Laban's  cattle. Genesis 30:41
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob
laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might
conceive among the rods.
Genesis 30:42
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were
Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Genesis 30:43
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants,
and menservants, and camels, and asses. CHAPTER 31 Genesis 31:1
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all
that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all
this glory.
Genesis 31:2
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him
as before.
Genesis 31:3
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy
kindred; and I will be with thee. Genesis 31:4 4 And Jacob sent and called
Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, Genesis 31:5
5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me
as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. Genesis 31:6 6 And ye
know that with all my power I have served your father. Genesis 31:7 7 And your
father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him
not to hurt me.
Genesis 31:8
8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare
speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all
the cattle ringstraked.
Genesis 31:9
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Genesis 31:10
10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up
mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the
cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. Genesis 31:11 11 And the angel
of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
Genesis 31:12
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon
the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that
Laban doeth  unto thee.
Genesis 31:13
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou
vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto
the land of thy kindred.
Genesis 31:14
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or
inheritance for us in our father's house? Genesis 31:15 15 Are we not counted
of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
Genesis 31:16
16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and
our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. Genesis 31:17
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; Genesis
31:18
18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten,
the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac
his father in the land of Canaan. Genesis 31:19 19 And Laban went to shear his
sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
Genesis 31:20
20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not
that he fled.
Genesis 31:21
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river,
and set his face toward the mount Gilead. Genesis 31:22 22 And it was told
Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. Genesis 31:23 23 And he took his
brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook
him in the mount Gilead. Genesis 31:24 24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a
dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob
either good or  bad. Genesis 31:25 25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had
pitched his tent in the mount: and
Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. Genesis 31:26 26 And
Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares
to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
Genesis 31:27
27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst
not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with
tabret, and with harp?
Genesis 31:28
28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now
done foolishly in so doing.
Genesis 31:29
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father
spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob
either good  or bad.
Genesis 31:30
30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst
after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? Genesis 31:31
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said,
Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. Genesis 31:32
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren
discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not
that Rachel had stolen them. Genesis 31:33 33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent,
and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them
not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered  into Rachel's  tent.
Genesis 31:34
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and
sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. Genesis
31:35
35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise
up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found
not the images.
Genesis 31:36
36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to
Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued
after me?
Genesis 31:37
37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy
household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may
judge betwixt us both.
Genesis 31:38
38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not
cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. Genesis 31:39 39
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it;
of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
Genesis 31:40
40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and
my sleep departed from mine eyes. Genesis 31:41 41 Thus have I been twenty
years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for
thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages
 ten  times.
Genesis 31:42
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had
been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine
affliction and the labour  of my hands,  and rebuked  thee yesternight. Genesis
31:43
43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters,
and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all
that thou seest  is mine: and what can I do  this day  unto these my daughters,
 or  unto their children  which they have born? Genesis 31:44
44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be
for a witness between me and thee. Genesis 31:45 45 And Jacob took a stone, and
set it up for a pillar. Genesis 31:46 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren,
Gather stones; and they took stones, and
made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. Genesis 31:47 47 And Laban
called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. Genesis 31:48
48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day.
Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; Genesis 31:49 49 And Mizpah; for he
said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
Genesis 31:50
50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside
my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
Genesis 31:51
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I
have cast betwixt me and thee;
Genesis 31:52
52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over
this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar
unto me, for harm.
Genesis 31:53
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge
betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. Genesis 31:54 54
Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat
bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. Genesis
31:55
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his
daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
CHAPTER 32
Genesis 32:1
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Genesis 32:2 2 And
when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name
of that place Mahanaim.
Genesis 32:3
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of
Seir, the country of Edom.
Genesis 32:4
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy
servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until
now:
Genesis 32:5
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I
have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. Genesis 32:6 6
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and
also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. Genesis 32:7 7 Then
Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that
was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
Genesis 32:8
8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other
company which is left shall escape. Genesis 32:9 9 And Jacob said, O God of my
father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the
LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I
will deal well  with thee:
Genesis 32:10
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which
thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan;
and now I am become two bands. Genesis 32:11 11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from
the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau:
for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the
children.
Genesis 32:12
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand
of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. Genesis 32:13 13 And he
lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand
a present for Esau his brother; Genesis 32:14 14 Two hundred she goats, and
twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
Genesis 32:15
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she
asses, and ten foals.
Genesis 32:16
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by
themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space
betwixt drove and  drove.
Genesis 32:17
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee,
and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are
these before thee?
Genesis 32:18
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto
my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us. Genesis 32:19 19 And so
commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves,
saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. Genesis
32:20
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I
will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will
see  his face;  peradventure he will accept  of me. Genesis 32:21 21 So went
the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
Genesis 32:22
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two
womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. Genesis
32:23
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
Genesis 32:24
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the
breaking of the day.
Genesis 32:25
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of
his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled
with him.
Genesis 32:26
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let
thee go, except thou bless me.
Genesis 32:27
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. Genesis 32:28 28
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a
prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Genesis 32:29
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said,
Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Genesis 32:30
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to
face, and my life is preserved.
Genesis 32:31
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his
thigh.
Genesis 32:32
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is
upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of
Jacob's thigh in the sinew  that shrank.
