15. She said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
16. Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
17. God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18. Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
19. Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20. Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
21. Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22. God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
23. She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
24. She named him Joseph, saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”
25. When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26. Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
27. Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
28. He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
29. He said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
30. For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
