Good News Translation
13 and Leah said, “How happy I am! Now women will call me happy”; so she named him Asher.[a]
14 During the wheat harvest Reuben went into the fields and found mandrakes,[b] which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
15 Leah answered, “Isn't it enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you are even trying to take away my son's mandrakes.”
Rachel said, “If you will give me your son's mandrakes, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.”
