Therefore, she named him Dan. 7 Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8 Rachel said, "With great struggles have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed."

She named him Asher. 14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, bringing them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes." 15 She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken my husband? Would you also take away my son's mandrakes?" Rachel said, "Therefore, he shall lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes." 16 Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come to me, for surely I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." He lay with her that night. 17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18 Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I have given my maid to my husband." She named him Issachar. 19 Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. 20 Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry; now my husband will dwell with me because I have born him six sons." She named him Zebulun. 21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter and named her Dinah. 22 God remembered Rachel, listened to her, and opened her womb. 23 She conceived and bore a son and said, "God has taken away my reproach." 24 She named him Joseph and said, "The LORD shall add to me another son."
