Genesis 30:14-24
14Now in the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105 ReubenH7205 wentH1980 and foundH4672 1mandrakeH1736 fruitsH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, “PleaseH4994 giveH5414 me someH4480 of your son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.” 15But she saidH559 to her, “Is it a smallH4592 matterH4592 for you to takeH3947 my husbandH376? And would you takeH3947 my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736 alsoH1571?” So RachelH7354 saidH559, “ThereforeH3651 he may sleepH7901 with you tonightH3915 inH8478 returnH8478 forH8478 your son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.” 16When JacobH3290 cameH935 inH935 from the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, LeahH3812 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 him and saidH559, “You must haveH935 relationsH935 withH935 me, for I have indeedH7936 hiredH7936 you with my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.” So he sleptH7901 with her that nightH3915. 17GodH430 listenedH8085 to LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a fifthH2549 sonH1121. 18Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “GodH430 has givenH5414 me my 2rewardH7939, becauseH834 I gaveH5414 my slaveH8198 to my husbandH376.” So she namedH7121 him IssacharH3485. 19And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 againH5750 and boreH3205 a sixthH8345 sonH1121 to JacobH3290. 20Then LeahH3812 saidH559, “GodH430 has endowedH2064 me with a goodH2896 giftH2065; finallyH6471 my husbandH376 3will acknowledgeH2082 me as his wife, becauseH3588 I have borneH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121.” So she namedH7121 him ZebulunH2074. 21AfterwardH310 she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a daughterH1323, and namedH7121H8034 her DinahH1783.
22Then 4GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 listenedH8085 to her and 5openedH6605 her wombH7358. 23So she conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and saidH559, “GodH430 has 6takenH622 awayH622 my disgraceH2781.” 24And she namedH7121H8034 him JosephH3130, sayingH559, “7May the LordH3068 8giveH3254 me anotherH312 sonH1121.”
