Genesis 30:9-18
9When LeahH3812 sawH7200 that she had left off bearingH3205, she tookH3947 ZilpahH2153 her handmaid, and gaveH5414 her to JacobH3290 to wifeH802. 10And ZilpahH2153 Leah’s handmaid bare JacobH3290 a sonH1121. 11And LeahH3812 saidH559, Fortunate! and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 GadH1410. 12And ZilpahH2153 Leah’s handmaid bare JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121. 13And LeahH3812 saidH559, Happy am I! for the daughtersH1323 will callH7121 me happy: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 AsherH836.
14And ReubenH7205 wentH935 in the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakes in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them unto his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, GiveH5414 me, I pray thee, of thy son’sH1121 mandrakes. 15And she saidH559 unto her, Is it a smallH4592 matter that thou hast takenH3947 awayH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou takeH3947 awayH3947 my son’sH1121 mandrakes alsoH1571? And RachelH7354 saidH559, ThereforeH3651 he shall lieH7901 with thee to-night for thy son’sH1121 mandrakes. 16And JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 wentH3318 out to meet him, and saidH559, Thou must comeH935 in unto me; for I have surely hiredH7936 thee with my son’sH1121 mandrakes. And he layH7901 with her that nightH3915. 17And GodH430 hearkened unto LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and bare JacobH3290 a fifthH2549 sonH1121. 18And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 me my hireH7939, because I gaveH5414 my handmaid to my husbandH376: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485.
