22Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive. 23She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”

24She named him Joseph, Joseph means may he add. and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

Jacob’s Flocks Increase 25After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland.

26Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.” 27But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”

28He added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
