9. When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing children, she took Zilpah, her maid and gave her Jacob to wife.

10. And Zilpah, Leah’s maid, gave birth to a son unto Jacob.

11. And Leah said, Good venture has come; and she called his name Gad.

12. And Zilpah, Leah’s maid, gave birth to a second son unto Jacob.

13. And Leah said, Blessed am I, for the daughters will call me blessed; and she called his name Asher.

14. And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes.

15. And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband and would thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s mandrakes.

16. And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

17. And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived and gave birth to a fifth son unto Jacob.

18. And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.

19. And Leah conceived again and gave birth to the sixth son unto Jacob.

20. And Leah said, God has endued me with a good dowry; now my husband will dwell with me because I have born him six sons; and she called his name Zebulun.

21. And afterwards she gave birth to a daughter and called her name Dinah.

22. And God remembered Rachel and God hearkened to her and opened her womb.

23. And she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, God has taken away my reproach;

24. and she called his name Joseph, saying, Let the Lord add unto me another son.

25. And it came to pass when Rachel had given birth to Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, and I shall go unto my place and to my land.
