But I gave to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the territory that reaches from Gilead down to the Arnon River valley. It goes all the way to the Jabbok River. The Jabbok is the northern border of Ammon. The middle of the Arnon River valley is its southern border.

They took over the land of Sihon. He was the king of the Amorites. He ruled in Heshbon. The land he ruled over begins at Aroer. Aroer is on the rim of the Arnon River valley. Sihon ruled from the middle of the valley to the Jabbok River. The Jabbok is the border of Ammon. Sihon’s territory included half of Gilead.

And you obeyed the Lord’ s command. You didn’t go near any part of the land of the Ammonites. That includes the land along the Jabbok River. It also includes the land around the towns in the hills.

But Rachel was dying. As she took her last breath, she named her son Ben- Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

While Israel was living in that area, Reuben went in and slept with Bilhah. She was the concubine of Reuben’s father. And Israel heard about it. Here are the 12 sons Jacob had.Leah was the mother of Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son. Her other sons were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.The sons of Rachel’s female servant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.The sons of Leah’s female servant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These were Jacob’s sons. They were born in Paddan Aram.

Then Jacob said to Laban,“ Give me my wife. I’ve completed my time. I want to sleep with her.”So Laban brought all the people of the place together and had a feast prepared.But when evening came, he gave his daughter Leah to Jacob. And Jacob slept with her.Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter as her servant.When Jacob woke up the next morning, there was Leah next to him! So he said to Laban,“ What have you done to me? I worked for you so I could marry Rachel, didn’t I? Why did you trick me?”Laban replied,“ It isn’t our practice here to give the younger daughter to be married before the older one.Complete this daughter’s wedding week. Then we’ll give you the younger one also. But you will have to work for another seven years.”So Jacob completed the week with Leah. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her servant.Jacob slept with Rachel also. He loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And he worked for Laban for another seven years.The Lord saw that Jacob didn’t love Leah as much as he loved Rachel. So he let Leah have children. But Rachel wasn’t able to have children.Leah became pregnant. She had a son. She named him Reuben. She said,“ The Lord has seen me suffer. Surely my husband will love me now.”She became pregnant again. She had a son. Then she said,“ The Lord heard that Jacob doesn’t love me very much. That’s why the Lord gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.She became pregnant again. She had a son. Then she said,“ Now at last my husband will value me. I have had three sons by him.” So the boy was named Levi.She became pregnant again. She had a son. Then she said,“ This time I’ll praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.Rachel saw that she wasn’t having any children by Jacob. So she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob,“ Give me children, or I’ll die!”Jacob became angry with her. He said,“ Do you think I’m God? He’s the one who has kept you from having children.”Then she said,“ Here’s my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her so that she can have children for me. Then I too can have a family through her.”So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her.And Bilhah became pregnant. She had a son by him.Then Rachel said,“ God has stood up for my rights. He has listened to my prayer and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.Rachel’s servant Bilhah became pregnant again. She had a second son by Jacob.Then Rachel said,“ I’ve had a great struggle with my sister. Now I’ve won.” So she named him Naphtali.Leah saw that she had stopped having children. So she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.Leah’s servant Zilpah had a son by Jacob.Then Leah said,“ What good fortune!” So she named him Gad.Leah’s servant Zilpah had a second son by Jacob.Then Leah said,“ I’m so happy! The women will call me happy.” So she named him Asher.While the wheat harvest was being gathered, Reuben went out into the fields. He found some mandrake plants. He brought them to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah,“ Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”But Leah said to her,“ Isn’t it enough that you took my husband away? Are you going to take my son’s mandrakes too?” Rachel said,“ All right. Jacob can sleep with you tonight if you give me your son’s mandrakes.”Jacob came in from the fields that evening. Leah went out to meet him.“ You have to sleep with me tonight,” she said.“ I’ve traded my son’s mandrakes for that time with you.” So he slept with her that night.God listened to Leah. She became pregnant and had a fifth son by Jacob.Then Leah said,“ God has rewarded me because I gave my female servant to my husband.” So she named the boy Issachar.Leah became pregnant again. She had a sixth son by Jacob.Then Leah said,“ God has given me a priceless gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor. I’ve had six sons by him.” So she named the boy Zebulun.Some time later she had a daughter. She named her Dinah.Then God listened to Rachel. He showed concern for her. He made it possible for her to have children.She became pregnant and had a son. Then she said,“ God has taken away my shame.”She said,“ May the Lord give me another son.” So she named him Joseph.
