12. Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.

13. Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.

14. Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

15. Leah 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.

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.

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.”
