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.
18 And she said, 'God has given a reward to me, because I gave my handmaid to my husband.' And she called his name Issachar.
19 Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
20 And she said: 'God has endowed me with a good dowry. And now, at this turn, my husband will be with me, because I have conceived six sons for him.' And therefore she called his name Zebulun.
