Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other.<n id="1" /> Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms.<n id="2" />p>

Then Leah said, &#8220;God has granted me a reward<n id="1" /> because I gave my servant to my husband as a wife.&#8221;<n id="2" /> So she named him Issachar.<n id="3" />p>

We are all the sons of one man; we are honest men! Your servants are not spies.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Israel said, &#8220;Why did you bring this trouble<n id="1" /> on me by telling<n id="2" /> the man you had one more brother?&#8221;p>
