"My son," she replied, "let any curse against you fall on me. Just listen to me, then go and get them for me."

So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.

Then Rebekah took [some of] her older son Esau's best garments that [were] with her in the house, and she put [them] on Jacob her younger son.

and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;

and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

And she said to her, Is it too little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him. And she said, "Come in to me, for {I have hired} you with my son's mandrakes." And he slept with her that night.

And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.

And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?

And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, until thou send it?

And she laid his garment by her until his lord came home.

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew bondman that thou hast brought to us came in to me to mock me;
