Genesis 30:18-24

18Then Leah said, “God has given me my 1wages because I gave my maid to my husband.” So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 20Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband 2will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun. 21Afterward she bore a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Then 3God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and 4opened her womb. 23So she conceived and bore a son and said, “God has 5taken away my reproach.” 24She named him Joseph, saying, “6May the Lord 7give me another son.”
