16. When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him. And she said, “Come in to me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” And he slept with her that night.

17. And God listened to Leah and she conceived and gave birth to a fifth son for Jacob.

18. Then Leah said, “God has given me my wage since I gave my servant girl to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.

19. And Leah conceived again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob.

20. And Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift. This time my husband will acknowledge me, because I bore him six sons.” And she called his name Zebulun.
