13 And Leah said, 'This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.' Because of this, she called him Asher.
14 Then Reuben, going out into the field at the time of the wheat harvest, found mandrakes. These he brought to his mother Leah. And Rachel said, 'Give me a portion of your son's mandrakes.'
15 She responded, 'Does it seem like such a small matter to you, that you have usurped from me my husband, unless you will also take my son's mandrakes?' Rachel said, 'He will sleep with you this night because of your son's mandrakes.'
16 And when Jacob returned from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and she said, 'You will enter to me, because I have hired you for the reward of my son's mandrakes.' And he slept with her that night.
17 And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
