Genesis 30:13

AsherLeah
Joy

11 Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.

12 When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,

Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.

14 Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

15 But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
