절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Problems between Rachel and Leah Rachel was very jealous of Leah for having children, and she said to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me some children!”	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.
2	But Jacob became upset with Rachel and answered, “Don't blame me! I'm not God.”	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?
3	“Here, take my servant Bilhah,” Rachel told him. “Have children by her, and I'll let them be born on my knees to show that they are mine.”	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.
4	Then Rachel let Jacob marry Bilhah,	And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5	and they had a son.	And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6	Rachel named him Dan, because she said, “God has answered my prayers. He judged in my favor and has given me a son.”	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.
7	When Bilhah and Jacob had a second son,	And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8	Rachel said, “I've struggled hard with my sister, and I've won!” So she named the boy Naphtali.	And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9	When Leah realized she could not have any more children, she let Jacob marry her servant Zilpah,	When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
10	and they had a son.	And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a son.
11	“I'm really lucky,” Leah said, and she named the boy Gad.	And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
12	When they had another son,	And Zilpah Leah’s maid bare Jacob a second son.
13	Leah exclaimed, “I'm happy now, and all the women will say how happy I am.” So she named him Asher.	And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14	Love Flowers During the time of the wheat harvest, Reuben found some love flowers and took them to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah for some of them,	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.
15	but Leah said, “It's bad enough that you stole my husband! Now you want my son's love flowers too.” “All right,” Rachel answered. “Let me have the flowers, and you can sleep with Jacob tonight.”	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.
16	That evening when Jacob came in from the fields, Leah told him, “You're sleeping with me tonight. I hired you with my son's love flowers.” They slept together that night,	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.
17	and God answered Leah's prayers by giving her a fifth son.	And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18	Leah shouted, “God has rewarded me for letting Jacob marry my servant,” and she named the boy Issachar.	And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19	When Leah had another son,	And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20	she exclaimed, “God has given me a wonderful gift, and my husband will praise me for giving him six sons.” So she named the boy Zebulun.	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.
21	Later, Leah had a daughter and named her Dinah.	And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
22	—	And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23	Finally, God remembered Rachel—he answered her prayer by giving her a son. “God has taken away my disgrace,” she said.	And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
24	“I'll name the boy Joseph, and I'll pray that the Lord will give me another son.”	And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.
25	Jacob and Laban After Joseph was born, Jacob said to Laban, “Release me from our agreement and let me return to my own country.	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.
26	You know how hard I've worked for you, so let me take my wives and children and leave.”	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.
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.
28	But Laban told him, “If you really are my friend, stay on, and I'll pay whatever you ask. I'm sure the Lord has blessed me because of you.”	And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
29	Jacob answered: You've seen how hard I've worked for you, and you know how your flocks and herds have grown under my care.	And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
30	You didn't have much before I came, but the Lord has blessed everything I have ever done for you. Now it's time for me to start looking out for my own family.	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?
31	“How much do you want me to pay you?” Laban asked. Then Jacob told him: I don't want you to pay me anything. Just do one thing, and I'll take care of your sheep and goats.	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:
32	Let me go through your flocks and herds and take the sheep and goats that are either spotted or speckled and the black lambs. That's all you need to give me.	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.
33	In the future you can easily find out if I've been honest. Just look and see if my animals are either spotted or speckled, or if the lambs are black. If they aren't, they've been stolen from you.	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.
34	“I agree to that,” was Laban's response.	And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35	Before the end of the day, Laban had separated his spotted and speckled animals and the black lambs from the others and had put his sons in charge of them.	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.
36	Then Laban made Jacob keep the rest of the sheep and goats at a distance of three days' journey.	And he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37	Jacob cut branches from some poplar trees and from some almond and evergreen trees. He peeled off part of the bark and made the branches look spotted and speckled.	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.
38	Then he put the branches where the sheep and goats would see them while they were drinking from the water trough. The goats mated there	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.
39	in front of the branches, and their young were spotted and speckled.	And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
40	Some of the sheep that Jacob was keeping for Laban were already spotted. And when the others were ready to mate, he made sure that they faced in the direction of the spotted and black ones. In this way, Jacob built up a flock of sheep for himself and did not put them with the other sheep.	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.
41	When the stronger sheep were mating near the drinking place, Jacob made sure that the spotted branches were there.	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.
42	But he would not put out the branches when the weaker animals were mating. So Jacob got all of the healthy animals, and Laban got what was left.	But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
43	Jacob soon became rich and successful. He owned many sheep, goats, camels, and donkeys, as well as a lot of slaves.	And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
