Genesis 30:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

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.^[a]
