Genesis 30:15-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)

15. But [Leah] answered, Is it not enough that you have taken my husband without your taking away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Jacob shall sleep with you tonight [in exchange] for your son's mandrakes.

16. And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him and said, You must sleep with me [tonight], for I have certainly paid your hire with my son's mandrakes. So he slept with her that night.

17. And God heeded Leah's [prayer], and she conceived and bore Jacob [her] fifth son.

18. Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar [hired].

19. And Leah became pregnant again and bore Jacob [her] sixth son.

20. Then Leah said, God has endowed me with a good marriage gift [for my husband]; now will he dwell with me [and regard me as his wife in reality], because I have borne him six sons; and she named him Zebulun [dwelling].

21. Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her Dinah.

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

23. And [now for the first time] she became pregnant and bore a son; and she said, God has taken away my reproach, disgrace, and humiliation.

24. And she called his name Joseph [may he add] and said, May the Lord add to me another son.
