Genesis 30:14-16
Tree of Life Version
14 Now during the days of the wheat harvest, Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field and he brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”[a]
15 But she said to her, “Wasn’t it enough that you took my husband away? You’d also take away my son’s mandrakes?”
So Rachel said, “That being so, let him lie with you tonight, in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
16 So when Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You must come to me. For I’ve actually hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he lay with her that very night.
