9And when LeahH3812 sawH7200 that she had ceased to bearH3205, she tookH3947 ZilpahH2153 her maidservantH8198 and gaveH5414 her to JacobH3290 as wifeH802.

10And ZilpahH2153 Leah's maidservantH8198 boreH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.

14And ReubenH7205 wentH935 out in the daysH3117 of wheat-harvest, and foundH4672 mandrakes in the fieldsH7704; and he broughtH935 them to his motherH517 LeahH3812. And RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, GiveH5414 me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

15And she saidH559 to her, Is it [too] littleH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 my husbandH376, that thou wilt takeH3947 my son's mandrakes alsoH1571? And RachelH7354 saidH559, ThereforeH3651 he shall lieH7901 with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

16And when JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldsH7704 in the eveningH6153, LeahH3812 wentH3318 out to meet him, and saidH559, Thou must comeH935 in to me, for indeed I have hiredH7936 thee with my son's mandrakes. And he layH7901 with her that nightH3915.
