Genesis 30:12-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And Lĕ’ah’s female servant Zilpah bore Ya‛aqoḇ a second son.

13. And Lĕ’ah said, “I am blessed, for the daughters shall call me blessed.” So she called his name Ashĕr.

14. And Re’uḇĕn went in the days of wheat harvest and found love-apples in the field, and brought them to his mother Lĕ’ah. And Raḥĕl said to Lĕ’ah, “Please give me some of your son’s love-apples.”

15. But she said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s love-apples too?” And Raḥĕl said, “Therefore let him lie with you tonight for your son’s love-apples.”

16. And when Ya‛aqoḇ came out of the field in the evening, Lĕ’ah went out to meet him and said, “Do come in to me, for indeed, I have hired you with my son’s love-apples.” And he lay with her that night.
