And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you speak, for all the people of my town know that you are a woman of strength.

May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the seed which Jehovah shall give to you from this young woman.

So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they gave birth;

for Jehovah had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.

And Jehovah visited Sarah as He had said, and Jehovah did for Sarah as He had spoken.

And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah had borne to him, Isaac.

And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

When Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

And Jacob's anger burned against Rachel, and he said, Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?

And God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.

And she conceived and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.

And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God has graciously given your servant.

For this boy I prayed, and Jehovah granted me my petition which I have asked of Him.

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children has become feeble.

He causes the barren to dwell in a house, like a joyful mother of children. Praise YAH!

Behold, children are a heritage from Jehovah, the fruit of the womb is a reward.
