Genesis 30:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

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, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”

16 When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah 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.

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

18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.

19 Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
