01:029:026 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give
           the younger before the firstborn.

01:029:027 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the
           service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

01:029:028 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week:  and he gave him
           Rachel his daughter to wife also.

01:029:029 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to
           be her maid.

01:029:030 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more
           than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

01:029:031 And when the lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: 
           but Rachel was barren.

01:029:032 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name
           Reuben:  for she said, Surely the lord hath looked upon my
           affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

01:029:033 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the
           lord hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this
           son also:  and she called his name Simeon.

01:029:034 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this
           time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born
           him three sons:  therefore was his name called Levi.

01:029:035 And she conceived again, and bare a son:  and she said, Now
           will I praise the lord:  therefore she called his name Judah;
           and left bearing.

01:030:001 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.

01:030:002 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?

01:030:003 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.

01:030:004 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife:  and Jacob went
           in unto her.

01:030:005 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

01:030:006 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.

01:030:007 And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a
           second son.

01:030:008 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my
           sister, and I have prevailed:  and she called his name
           Naphtali.

01:030:009 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her
           maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
