Genesis 30:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ As Jacob was coming in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You are to sleep with me,” she said. “You are my reward for my son’s mandrakes.” So he went to bed with her that night. ¹⁷ God answered Leah’s prayer. She became pregnant and gave birth to her fifth son for Jacob. ¹⁸ Leah said, “God has given me my reward because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named him Issachar [Reward].
