15. Leah replied, "Isn’t it enough that you’ve taken my husband? Now you want to take my son’s erotic herbs too?"Rachel said, "For your son’s erotic herbs, Jacob may sleep with you tonight."
16. When Jacob came back from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must sleep with me because I’ve paid for you with my son’s erotic herbs." So he slept with her that night.
17. God responded to Leah. She became pregnant and gave birth to a fifth son for Jacob.
18. Leah said, "God gave me what I paid for, what I deserved for giving my servant to my husband." So she named him Issachar.
19. Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob,
20. and she said, "God has given me a wonderful gift. Now my husband will honor me since I’ve borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.
21. After this, she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22. Then God remembered Rachel, responded to her, and let her conceive.
23. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, "God has taken away my shame."
24. She named him Joseph, saying to herself, May the Lord give me another son.
25. After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me off so that I can go to my own place and my own country.
26. Give me my wives and children whom I’ve worked for, and I will go. You know the work I’ve done for you."
27. Laban said to him, "Do me this favor. I’ve discovered by a divine sign that the Lord has blessed me because of you,
28. so name your price and I will pay it."
29. Jacob said to him, "You know how I’ve worked for you, and how well your livestock have done with me.
30. While in my care, what little you had has multiplied a great deal. The Lord blessed you wherever I took your livestock. Now, when will I be able to work for my own household too?"
