Genesis 30:18-24

18Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.1

19Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 20“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.2

21After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb, 23and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said. 24She named him Joseph,3 and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
