22 Then God listened to Rachel. He showed concern for her. He made it possible for her to have children.
23 She became pregnant. She had a son. She said, "God has taken my shame away."
24 She continued, "May the Lord give me another son." So she named him Joseph.
25 After Rachel had Joseph, Jacob spoke to Laban. He said, "Send me on my way. I want to go back to my own home and country.
26 Give me my wives and children. I worked for you to get them. So I'll be on my way. You know how much work I've done for you."
27 But Laban said to him, "If you are pleased with me, stay here. I've discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you."
28 He continued, "Name your pay. I'll give it to you."
