Genesis 30:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ When Jacob came in from the field that night, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You will have intimate relations with me tonight. I have paid for you with my son’s mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with her that night.

¹⁷ Then God answered Leah’s prayer, and she became pregnant again. She gave birth to a fifth son. ¹⁸ Leah said, “God has given me what I paid for, because I gave my slave girl to my husband.” So Leah named her son Issachar.^[a]
