'Paid' in the Bible

When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must sleep with me because I have paid for your services with my son's mandrakes." So he had marital relations with her that night.

God paid attention to Leah; she became pregnant and gave Jacob a son for the fifth time.

Then God took note of Rachel. He paid attention to her and enabled her to become pregnant.

Hasn't he treated us like foreigners? He not only sold us, but completely wasted the money paid for us!
