New Testament

Genesis 30:15-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

15. Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also?”So Rachel said, “All right, he may lie with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”

16. When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must sleep with me, because I have paid for you with my son’s mandrakes.” And he slept with her that night.

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

18. Leah said, “God has given me my reward because I have given my maid to my husband.” So she called his name Issachar.

19. Leah conceived again and gave Jacob a sixth son.

20. Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will dwell with me, because I have given him six sons.” So she called his name Zebulun.

21. Afterwards she gave birth to a daughter and called her name Dinah.

22. Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.

23. She conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
