16. And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
17. And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
18. And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19. And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
20. And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
21. After whom she bore a daughter, named Diana.
22. The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
23. And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken my reproach.
24. And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
25. And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
26. Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
27. Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
28. Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
29. But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
