10. And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.

11. And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.

12. And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a second son.

13. And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.

14. And Reuben went out in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the fields; and he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

15. And she said to her, Is it too little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

16. And when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
