Wh? Lea sawe that she had left bearinge/ she toke Silpha hir mayde and gaue her Iacob to wiffe. And Silpha Leas mayde bare Iacob a sonne. Than sayde Lea: good lucke: and called his name Gad. And Silpha Leas mayde bare Iacob an other sonne. Thà sayd Lea: happy am I/ for the doughters will call me blessed. And called his name Asser.

And Rub? w?t out in the wheat haruest & foude mandragoras in the feldes/ and brought th? vnto his mother Lea. Than sayde Rahel to Lea geue me of thy sonnes mÃdragoras. And Lea answered: is it not ynough/ y^t thou hast tak? awaye my housbÕde/ but woldest take awaye my sonnes mandragoras also? Than sayde Rahel well/ let him slepe with the this nyghte/ for thy sonnes mandragoras. And wh? Iacob came from the feldes at euen/ Lea went out to mete him/ & sayde: come in to me/ for I haue bought the with my sonnes mandragoras.

And he slepte with her that nyghte. And God herde Lea/ y^t she cÕceaved and bare vnto Iacob y^e .v. sonne. Than sayde Lea. God hath geu? me my rewarde/ because I gaue my mayd? to my housbÕd/ and she called him Isachar. And Lea cÕceaued yet agayne and bare Iacob the sexte sonne. Than sayde she: God hath endowed me with a good dowry. Now will my housbond dwell with me/ because I haue borne him .vi. sonnes: and called his name ZabulÕ. After that she bare a daughter and called her Dina.

And God rem?bred Rahel/ herde her/ and made her frutefull: so that she cÕceaued and bare a sonne and sayde God hath tak? awaye my rebuke. And she called his name Ioseph saynge The lorde geue me yet another sonne.

As soone as Rahel had borne Ioseph/ Iacob sayde to Laban: S?de me awaye y^t I maye goo vnto myne awne place and cutre/ geue me my wives and my childern for whome I haue serued the/ and let me goo: for thou knowest what seruyce I haue done the. Than sayde Laban vnto hi: If I haue fownde fauoure in thy syghte (for I suppose y^t the LORde hath blessed me for thy sake) appoynte what thy rewarde shalbe/ and I will geue it y^e. But he sayde vnto hym/ thou knowest what seruyce I haue done y^e/ & in what takynge thy catell haue bene vnder me: for it was but litle that thou haddest before I came/ and now it is encreased in to a multitude/ and the LORDE hath blessed the for my sake. But now when shall I make provysion for myne awne house also? And he sayde: what shall I geue the? And Iacob answerd: thou shalt geue me nothinge at all/ yf thou wilt do this one thinge for me: And then will I turne agayne & fede thy shepe and kepe them.

I will go aboute all thy shepe this daye/ and separate frÕ th? all the shepe that are spotted and of dyverse coloures/ and all blacke shepe amonge the lambes and the partie and spotted amonge the kyddes: And then such shalbe my rewarde. So shall my rightwesnes answere for me: when the tyme commeth that I shall receaue my rewarde of the: So that what soeuer is not speckeld and partie amonge the gootes and blacke amonge the lambes/ let that be theft with me.

Than sayde Laban: loo/ I am cont?te/ that it be acordinge as thou hast sayde. And he toke out that same daye the he gootes that were partie & of dyuerse coloures/ & all the she gootes that were spotted and partie coloured/ & all that had whyte in th?/ & all the blacke amonge the lambes: Ãd put th? in the kepinge of his sonnes/ & sett thre dayes iourney betwixte hiselfe & Iacob. And so Iacob kepte y^e rest of LabÃs shepe.

Iacob toke roddes of grene popular/ hasell/ & of chestnottrees/ & pilled whyte strakes in th? & made the white apere in the staues: And he put the staues which he had pilled/ eu? before y^e shepe/ in the gutters & watrynge troughes/ wh? the shepe came to drynke: y^t they shulde cÕceaue wh? they came to drynke. And the shepe cÕceaued before the staues & brought forth straked/ spotted & partie. Th? Iacob parted the lÃbes/ & turned the faces of the shepe toward spotted thinges/ & toward allmaner of blacke thinges thorow out the flockes of LabÃ. And he made him flockes of his owne by th? selfe/ which he put not vnto the flockes of LabÃ. And allwaye in the first buckinge tyme of the shepe/ Iacob put the staues before the shepe in the gutters/ y^t they myghte conceaue before the staues/ But in the latter buckynge tyme/ he put them not there: so the last brode was LabÃs and the first Iacobs. And the man became excedynge ryche & had many shepe/ maydeseruauntes/ menseruauntes/ camels & asses.
