15. Leah answered, “You have already taken away my husband. Now you are trying to take away my son’s flowers.” But Rachel answered, “If you will give me your son’s flowers, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.”
16. Jacob came in from the fields that night. Leah saw him and went out to meet him. She said, “You will sleep with me tonight. I have paid for you with my son’s flowers.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.
17. Then God allowed Leah to become pregnant again. She gave birth to a fifth son.
18. She said, “God has given me a reward because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named her son Issachar.
19. Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son.
20. She said, “God has given me a fine gift. Now surely Jacob will accept me, because I have given him six sons.” So she named this son Zebulun.
21. Later, Leah gave birth to a daughter. She named her Dinah.
22. Then God heard Rachel’s prayer and made it possible for Rachel to have children.
23. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
24. Rachel named the son Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me another son.”
25. After the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now let me go back to my own homeland.
26. Give me my wives and my children. I have earned them by working for you. You know that I served you well.”
