14 Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben (behold a son) went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel (little lamb) begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.” 15 But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel (little lamb), “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.” 16 When Jacob (he grasps the heel) came in from the field that evening, Leah (weary) went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
