Genesis - ch 30 v 1 - 20

  1. And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
  2. And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
  3. But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
  4. And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
  5. When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
  6. And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
  7. And again Bala conceived and bore another,
  8. For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
  9. Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
  10. And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
  11. She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
  12. Zelpha also bore another.
  13. And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
  14. And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes.
  15. She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son's mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandrakes.
  16. And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
  17. And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
  18. And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
  19. And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
  20. And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
