14 And Ruben went out in the dayes of the wheate haruest, & founde Mandragoras in the fielde, and brought them vnto his mother Lea. Then said Rachel to Lea: Geue me I praye thee of thy sonnes Mandragoras. 15 To whom Lea aunswered: Is it not enough that thou hast taken away my husband, but wouldest take away my sonnes Mandragoras also? Then saide Rachel: well, let hym sleepe with thee this night for thy sonnes Mandragoras. 16 And Iacob came from the fielde at euen, and Lea went out to meete hym, and sayde: thou shalt come in to me, for I haue bought thee in deede with my sonne Mandragoras. And he slept with her that same nyght. 17 And God hearde Lea, that she conceaued, and bare Iacob the fift sonne. 18 Then sayde Lea: God hath geuen me a rewarde, because I gaue my mayden to my husbande: and she called him Isachar. 19 And Lea conceaued yet agayne, and bare Iacob the sixt sonne. 20 And Lea sayde: God hath endued me with a good dowrie, nowe wyll my husbande dwell with me, because I haue borne hym sixe sonnes: and called his name Zabulon. 21 After that, she bare a daughter, and called her name Dina. 22 And God remembred Rachel, & God hearde her, and made her fruitefull, 23 So that she conceaued & bare a sonne: and sayde, God hath taken awaye my rebuke. 24 And she called his name Ioseph, saying: the Lorde geue me yet another sonne.
