Genesis 30:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he lay with her that night. ¹⁷ And God heeded Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. ¹⁸ Leah said, “God has given me my hire^[a] because I gave my maid to my husband”; so she named him Issachar.
