18Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “GodH430 has rewarded meH5414H7939 forH834 givingH5414 my maidservantH8198 to my husbandH376.” So she named himH7121H8034 IssacharH3485.1

19AgainH5750 LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a sixthH8345 sonH1121 to JacobH3290. 20“GodH430 has given meH2064 a goodH2896 giftH2065,” she saidH559. “This timeH6471 my husbandH376 will honor meH2082, becauseH3588 I have borneH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121.” And she namedH7121 himH8034 ZebulunH2074.2
