Genesis 30:20

Verse 20 of 43. The 30th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

16Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.

17God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.

19Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.

21Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

23She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”

24She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”
