16 When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, 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.” And he lay with her that night.

22 Then God ^aremembered Rachel, and God listened to her and ^bopened her womb.

23 And she conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away ^amy reproach.”
