14And ReubenH7205 wentH935 in the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them unto his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, GiveH5414 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, of thy son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.

15And sheH7901 saidH559 unto herH3947, Is it a smallH4592 matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 awayH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou takeH3947 awayH3947 my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to-night for thy son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736.

16And JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thou mustH1121 comeH935 in unto meH413; for I have surelyH3588 hiredH7936 thee with my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. And he layH7901 with herH413 that nightH3915.

17And GodH430 hearkened unto LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and bare JacobH3290 a fifthH2549 sonH1121.

18And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 meH5414 my hireH7939, becauseH834 I gaveH5414 my handmaid to my husbandH376: and sheH834 calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485.
