Genesis 30:14-24 ▼

14 And Reuben went in the days of the harvest of wheat, and he found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to Leah his mother. And Rachel said to Leah, “Please give to me some of the mandrakes of your son.”

15 And she said to her, “Is it a small matter your taking my husband, that you would also take the mandrakes of my son?” And Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for the mandrakes of your son.”

16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with the mandrakes of my son.” And he lay with her that night.

17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and she bore to Jacob a fifth son.

18 And Leah said, “God has given me my reward, because I have given my maidservant to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.

19 And Leah conceived again, and she bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20 And Leah said, “God has endowed me—me—with a good endowment; this time my husband will honor me, for I have borne to him six sons.” And she called his name Zebulun.

21 And afterward she bore a daughter, and she called her name Dinah.

22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and He opened her womb.

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

24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, “May YHWH add to me another son.”
