Löydetty 23719 Tulokset: Re
Rachel, meanwhile, when she found she remained barren, looked with envy on her sister; Thou must needs give me children, said she to her husband, or it will be my death. (Genesis 30, 1)
What, answered Jacob, angry at her mood, Must I stand in the place of God to thee? It is he that has denied thee motherhood. (Genesis 30, 2)
Here is Bala, she said, my maid-servant; get her with child instead, and it shall be born on my knees; thus, through her means, I shall have a family of my own.✻ (Genesis 30, 3)
and Bala, got with child by Rachel’s husband, bore a son. (Genesis 30, 5)
Whereupon Rachel said, God has pronounced judgement for me, and listened to my plea, by giving me a son; and she called the boy Dan, as if she would say, He has pronounced judgement. (Genesis 30, 6)
Afterwards Bala conceived again and bore a second son; (Genesis 30, 7)
of him Rachel said, God has matched me like a wrestler against my sister, and I have won the bout, so she called him Nephthali, Wrestling. (Genesis 30, 8)
Lia, too, finding that she was not having any more children, gave her maid-servant Zelpha to her husband for his mate; (Genesis 30, 9)
and when Zelpha conceived and bore a son, (Genesis 30, 10)
Zelpha, too, bore Jacob a second son, (Genesis 30, 12)
and Lia said, Here is a blessing for me; women must needs call me blessed now; so she gave him the name of Aser, Blessedness. (Genesis 30, 13)
What, answered she, art thou not content with stealing my husband from me? Must thou have my son’s mandrake fruit as well? And Rachel said, Jacob shall sleep with thee to-night, if I may have some of thy son’s mandrake-fruit. (Genesis 30, 15)
