Gn 30, 1-43

1 "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. " 2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's position, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb? 3 "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. " 4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. 5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 6 And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. 7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, A troop comes: and she called his name Gad. 12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son. 13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher. 14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray you, of your son's mandrakes. 15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? and would you take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you to night for your son's mandrakes. 16 "And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in unto me; for surely I have hired you with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. " 17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 18 And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. 20 "And Leah said, God has imbued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. " 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 23 "And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God has taken away my reproach: " 24 "And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. " 25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. 26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service which I have done you. 27 And Laban said unto him, I pray you, if I have found favour in your eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake. 28 And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it. 29 And he said unto him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle was with me. 30 "For it was little which you had before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD has blessed you since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? " 31 And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me any thing: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock. 32 I will pass through all your flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire. 33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before your face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me. 34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word. 35 And he removed that day the he goats that were striped with bands and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. 36 And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. 37 "And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and stripped white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. " 38 And he set the rods which he had stripped before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. 39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped with bands, speckled, and spotted. 40 "And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped with bands, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. " 41 And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. 42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. 43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and male servants, and camels, and asses.

Gn 30, 1-43





Gn 30,1 - Ráchel sa rozhoduje pre podobný skutok ako kedysi Sára (16,2). Dáva svojmu mužovi za vedľajšiu ženu svoju slúžku Balu.

Gn 30,3 - Nech porodí na mojich kolenách, to značí, že keď Ráchel vezme narodené dieťa na kolená, uzná ho za svoje. Pozri pozn. k 16,1–7.

Gn 30,5-6 - Ráchel považuje svoju sestru Liu za nepriateľku, pretože tým, že Lia darovala Jakubovi už štyroch synov, robila si akoby väčší nárok na Jakuba. Teraz, keď konečne aj ona má syna, hoci nevlastného, hovorí, že Boh jej prisúdil spravodlivo, odňal od nej hanbu, ktorú vždy cítili bezdetné. Dan značí sudcu, teda Pán rozhodol v prospech Ráchelin.

Gn 30,8 - Neftali, doslovne ,môj boj', t. j. Ráchel zvíťazila nad svojou sestrou. Obidve prostredníctvom detí bojovali o muža. Ráchel si myslí, že teraz sa Jakub nebude starať o Liu, keď ona už má dvoch synov a keď Lia prestala rodiť.

Gn 30,11 - Gad ,šťastie' alebo ,prinášajúci šťastie'. Narodením tohto syna dostáva sa Lii šťastia, pretože sa obávala, že Ráchel ju celkom zatlačí do úzadia. Aser ,blažený', lebo toľko synov – to už bolo naozaj veľké požehnanie pre semitskú ženu.

Gn 30,14-21 - Plody láskavca (Mandragore vernalis) sú žlté a sladké. Táto rastlina sa v Palestíne často vyskytuje. Plody dozrievajú v máji–júni, teda ku koncu palestínskej žatvy. Hebrejsky sa volá dúdaim. Podľa ľudového názoru plody tejto rastliny získavali lásku mužovu a pri neplodnosti mali prinášať šťastie pre rodičov, čiže dietky. Keď Ruben našiel láskavec, Lia videla v tom dobré znamenie pre seba. Ale aj Ráchel chcela mať z plodov "zázračnej" rastliny. Lia jej ich prepustila pod podmienkou, že Ráchel sa zriekne na jednu noc Jakuba. To je znakom, že Lia bola opäť zanedbávaná. Isachar – jéšsákhár – ,získaný za odmenu', za cenu. Lia považuje tohto syna ako odmenu od Pána. Ale ani po narodení Isacharovom veci sa neobrátili v prospech Lie. Pre vplyv Ráchelin totiž Jakub jej nevenoval veľa pozornosti. Prezrádza to meno šiesteho vlastného syna Liinho. Dala mu meno Zabulon, mysliac si, že aspoň po príchode tohto syna Jakub bude u nej bývať. Zabulon značí ,príbytok', ale aj ,obyvateľ'. U bohatých beduínov každá žena mala svoj vlastný stan. Lia dúfala, že napokon si úplne nakloní muža. Dina je odvodená od Dan, teda ,prisúdená' alebo ,tá, čo dosiahla (Lia) svoje právo'. Jakub mal isto viac dcér (46,7), ich mená sa však neuvádzajú. O Dine je už tu zmienka, lebo bude o nej i ďalej reč (34).

Gn 30,22 - Ráchel dosiaľ nemala svojho vlastného syna. Aj ju Pán vypočul a odňal od nej hanbu neplodnosti. Svojmu prvorodenému dáva meno Jozef, čo môže byť od slova ,asaf' ,odňal' alebo od ,jásaf' ,rozmnožiť, pridať'. Oba významy sú teda zahrnuté v mene Jozef: odňal jej Pán bezdetnosť a samotným menom svojho syna prosí, aby jej dal ešte ďalšieho syna: ,pridaj mi – jósef – ešte syna'.

Gn 30,31-34 - Jakub navrhuje pre seba za odmenu naoko dosť málo. Lakomý Laban pristáva na jeho podmienku. V Sýrii sú ovce zväčša biele a len málo je čiernych alebo strakatých. Kozy sú zasa čierne a len zriedkakedy bodkasté a strakaté. Jakub chce mať za odmenu to, čo nabudúce uliahne sa bodkasté a strakaté. Teda žiada si len zriedkavé; normálne zafarbené zvieratá ostanú Labanovi. Ktože by nepristal na takú podmienku? Pre majiteľa bola veľmi výhodná.

Gn 30,35-43 - Lakomý Laban oddelil strakaté a bodkasté kusy od ostatných čried a dal ich do opatery svojim synom, aby takto zamedzil Jakubovi všetku možnosť získať ovce a kozy z párenia strakatých zvierat. Jakub však verí Pánovi.
