And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son&#8217;s love-fruits. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son&#8217;s love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son&#8217;s love-fruits. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son&#8217;s love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family? <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me: <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> And Laban said, Let it be as you say. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons; <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> And sent them three days&#8217; journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban&#8217;s flock. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban&#8217;s flock. <\/br><strong>41<\/strong> And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks. <\/br><strong>42<\/strong> But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban&#8217;s and the stronger were Jacob&#8217;s. <\/br><strong>43<\/strong> So Jacob&#8217;s wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister;
