R. Yehudah Hanassi says: It is written "And Yaavetz called out to the G–d of Israel, saying: 'If You bless me and expand my borders, etc.'" If You bless me with children and expand my borders with sons and daughters, "and Your hand be with me"—in my dealings, "and You keep (me) from evil"—that the life You have given me be free of intestinal disorder, or eye ailments, or headaches, "not to sadden me"—that the evil inclination not sadden me … But if You do not do this for me, I will descend with my grief to the grave. "And the L–rd brought what he asked"—He granted him what he asked.
