Genesis 30 · Grade 3

Rachel's Son Joseph

Name Date

Read the Story

Rachel saw that she had no children, and she envied her sister. She gave her servant Bilhah to Jacob as a wife, and Bilhah had two sons, Dan and Naphtali. Leah gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob, and Zilpah had Gad and Asher. Leah later had Issachar, Zebulun and a daughter named Dinah.

Then God remembered Rachel. God listened to her and gave her a son. She said, God has taken away my reproach, and named him Joseph, praying, May Yahweh add another son to me.

Jacob wanted to go home, but Laban asked him to stay, because he had learned that the Lord blessed him for Jacob's sake. Jacob asked to keep the speckled and spotted animals as his wages. Laban tried to cheat him, but God made Jacob's flocks grow strong and many. Jacob became very rich.
