Genesis 30:16

When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have truly bought you with my son's mandrakes." [Leah did not wait at home but went out to meet Jacob.] And he lay with her that night. [Here, the word used is not "know" (Hebr. jada, see Gen. 4:1), which is the word usually used for marital relations, but "lie," which more often has to do with extramarital sex, see Gen. 39:12. The first four sons that Leah bears are simply said to be born (Gen. 29:32, 33, 34, 35), but the last two are said to be born "to Jacob" (verse 17 and 19), just like Bilhah (verse 5 and 7) and Zilpah (verse 10 and 12). Joseph and Benjamin are also described differently and do not have the phrase "to Jacob," see verse 23 and Gen. 35:18.]
