Genesis 30:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ During the wheat harvest Reuben went into the fields and found some special flowers.^[a] He brought them to his mother Leah. But Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s flowers.”

¹⁵ Leah answered, “You have already taken away my husband. Now you are trying to take away my son’s flowers.”

But Rachel answered, “If you will give me your son’s flowers, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.”

¹⁶ Jacob came in from the fields that night. Leah saw him and went out to meet him. She said, “You will sleep with me tonight. I have paid for you with my son’s flowers.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.
