Genesis 29:21-31:35

Look for mandrakes in today's readings. A mandrake is an herbal plant that produces fruits that were once believed to have aphrodisiac properties. The plant has a large forked root which resembles a person's legs. The root actually contains a poison, but was formerly used in many ways: as a laxative, to induce sleep, and to promote conception. Do you have any idea why Rachel might want some of Reuben's mandrakes?
