13 Then said Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will bless me, and she called his name Asher.
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.
