Gen. 30:16 [Samaritan Pentateuch]

ויבא יעקב מן השדה בערב ותצא לאה לקראתו ותאמר אלי תבוא כי שכר שכרתך בדודאי בני וישכב עמה בלילה ההוא

Gen. 30:16 [Masoretic Text]

וַיָּבֹ֨א יַעֲקֹ֣ב מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה֮ בָּעֶרֶב֒ וַתֵּצֵ֨א לֵאָ֜ה לִקְרָאתֹ֗ו וַתֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֵלַ֣י תָּבֹ֔וא כִּ֚י שָׂכֹ֣ר שְׂכַרְתִּ֔יךָ בְּדוּדָאֵ֖י בְּנִ֑י וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב עִמָּ֖הּ בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הֽוּא׃

And Yaʿaqov came from the field in the evening, and Leʾa went out to meet him and said, “You must come to me, for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” And he lay with her that night.
