Genesis 30:24

Verse 24 of 43. The 30th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

20Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.

21Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

23She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”

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

25When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

26Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”

27Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”

28He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
