¹⁶ Jacob came in from the fields that evening. Leah went out to meet him. “You have to sleep with me tonight,” she said. “I’ve traded my son’s mandrakes for that time with you.” So he slept with her that night.

¹⁷ God listened to Leah. She became pregnant and had a fifth son by Jacob. ¹⁸ Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me because I gave my female servant to my husband.” So she named the boy Issachar.
