Genesis 30:18-24

18Leah said, “God has given me my reward because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named him Issachar [Reward].

19She became pregnant again and gave birth to her sixth son for Jacob.

20Leah said, “God has presented me with a beautiful present. This time my husband will honor me because I have given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun [Honor].

21Later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Then God remembered Rachel. God answered her prayer and made it possible for her to have children.

23So she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then she said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”

24She named him Joseph [May He Give Another] and said, “May the Lord give me another son.”
