Genesis 30:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 ¶ Now Reuben went in the days of the wheat harvest, and found [a]mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then said Rachel to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes.
15 But she answered her, Is it a small matter for thee to take mine husband, except thou take my son’s mandrakes also? Then said Rachel, Therefore he shall sleep with thee this night for thy son’s mandrakes.
16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Come in to me, for I have [b]bought and paid for thee with my son’s mandrakes: and he slept with her that night.
