Genesis 30:12 In-Context

10 And when Zilpah, after conceiving, childed a son,
11 Leah said, Blessedly (I am most fortunate); and therefore she called his name Gad.
12 Also Zilpah childed another son,
13 and Leah said, This is for my bless(ing), for all women shall say me blessed (for all women shall say that I am blessed); therefore she called him Asher.
14 Forsooth Reuben went out into the field in the time of wheat harvest, and found (some) mandrakes, which he brought to Leah, his mother. And Rachel said, Give thou to me a part of the mandrakes of thy son.
