16. Jacob came in from the fields that night. Leah saw him and went out to meet him. She said, “You will sleep with me tonight. I have paid for you with my son’s flowers.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.

17. Then God allowed Leah to become pregnant again. She gave birth to a fifth son.

18. She said, “God has given me a reward because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named her son Issachar.

19. Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son.

20. She said, “God has given me a fine gift. Now surely Jacob will accept me, because I have given him six sons.” So she named this son Zebulun.

21. Later, Leah gave birth to a daughter. She named her Dinah.

22. Then God heard Rachel’s prayer and made it possible for Rachel to have children.

23. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
