15. But Leah replied to her, “Isn’t it enough that you have taken my husband? Now you also want to take my son’s mandrakes? ”“Well,” Rachel said, “you can sleep with him tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
16. When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
17. God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18. Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband,” and she named him Issachar.
19. Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.
20. “God has given me a good gift,” Leah said. “This time my husband will honor me because I have borne six sons for him,” and she named him Zebulun.
21. Later, Leah bore a daughter and named her Dinah.
22. Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb.
23. She conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my shame.”
24. She named him Joseph: “May the Lord add another son to me.”

26. Give me my wives and my children that I have worked for, and let me go. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
27. But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your sight, stay. I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
28. Then Laban said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29. So Jacob said to him, “You know what I have done for you and your herds.
30. For you had very little before I came, but now your wealth has increased. The Lord has blessed you because of me. And now, when will I also do something for my own family? ”
