And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
“They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.
Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.” And she called his name Joseph, saying, “May the Lord add to me another son!”
So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.
