And called his name Asser. And
Ruben went out in the wheat harvest and found mandragoras in the
fields, and brought them unto his mother Lea. Then said Rahel to
Lea give me of thy son's mandragoras. And Lea answered: Is it not
enough, that thou hast taken away my husband, but wouldest take
away my son's mandragoras also? Then said Rahel well, let him
sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandragoras. And when
Iacob came from the fields at even, Lea went out to meet him, and
said: come in to me, for I have bought thee with my son's
mandragoras. And he slept with her that night. And God heard Lea,
that she conceived and bare unto Iacob the fifth son. Then said
Lea: God hath given me my reward, because I gave my maiden to my
husband, and she called him Isachar. And Lea conceived yet again
and bare Iacob the sixth son. Then said she: God hath endued me
with a good dowry. Now will my husband dwell with me, because I
have borne him six sons: and called his name Zabulon. After that
she bare a daughter, and called her Dina. And God remembered
Rahel, heard her, and made her fruitful: so that she conceived and
bare a son, and said God hath taken away my rebuke. And she called
his name Ioseph saying: The LORD {lorde} give me yet another son.
