Genesis 30:20-30

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

20 Leah said, "God has presented me with a beautiful present. This time my husband will honor me because I have given him six sons." So she named him Zebulun [Honor].

21 Later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22 Then God remembered Rachel. God answered her prayer and made it possible for her to have children.

23 So she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then she said, "God has taken away my disgrace."

24 She named him Joseph [May He Give Another] and said, "May the LORD give me another son."

25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Let me go home to my own country.

26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I've worked, and let me go. You know how much work I've done for you."

27 Laban replied, "Listen to me. I've learned from the signs I've seen that the LORD has blessed me because of you."

28 So he offered, "Name your wages, and I'll pay them."

29 Jacob responded, "You know how much work I've done for you and what has happened to your livestock under my care.

30 The little that you had before I came has grown to a large amount. The LORD has blessed you wherever I've been. When can I do something for my own family?"

New International Version NIV

20 Then Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.

21 Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22 Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive.

23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”

24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland.

26 Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

27 But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”

28 He added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care.

30 The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?”
