Then she stopped having children.

¹⁸ Then Leah said, “God has given me my ^[a]reward, because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named him Issachar. ¹⁹ And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ²⁰ Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift; finally my husband ^[b]will acknowledge me as his wife, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
