14And ReubenH7205 went inH3212 the daysH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and foundH4672 mandrakesH1736 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517 LeahH3812. Then RachelH7354 saidH559 to LeahH3812, Give meH5414, I pray thee, of thy son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. 15And she saidH559 to her, Is it a small matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou take awayH3947 my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to nightH3915 forH8478 thy son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. 16And JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldH7704 in the eveningH6153, and LeahH3812 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thou must come inH935 to me; for surelyH7936 I have hiredH7936 thee with my son’sH1121 mandrakesH1736. And he layH7901 with her that nightH3915. 17And GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to LeahH3812, and she conceivedH2029, and boreH3205 JacobH3290 the fifthH2549 sonH1121. 18And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath givenH5414 me my hireH7939, becauseH834 I have givenH5414 my maidenH8198 to my husbandH376: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 IssacharH3485.8 19And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 again, and boreH3205 JacobH3290 the sixthH8345 sonH1121. 20And LeahH3812 saidH559, GodH430 hath bestowed onH2064 me with a goodH2896 dowryH2065; nowH6471 will my husbandH376 dwellH2082 with me, because I have borneH3205 him sixH8337 sonsH1121: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ZebulunH2074.9 21And afterwardsH310 she boreH3205 a daughterH1323, and calledH7121 her nameH8034 DinahH1783.10 22And GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to her, and openedH6605 her wombH7358. 23And she conceivedH2029, and boreH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, GodH430 hath taken awayH622 my reproachH2781:
