Genesis 30:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ During the wheat harvest Reuben went into the fields and found mandrakes,^[a] which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”

¹⁵ Leah answered, “Isn't it enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you are even trying to take away my son's mandrakes.”

Rachel said, “If you will give me your son's mandrakes, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.”

¹⁶ When Jacob came in from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You are going to sleep with me tonight, because I have paid for you with my son's mandrakes.” So he had intercourse with her that night.
