OET (OET-RV) “Is it a small matter you have taken my husband?” Le’ah snapped back. “And would you also take my son’s mandrakes?”
¶ “Well, he can sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.” Rahel answered.

Leah uses two rhetorical questions in verse 15 to scold Rachel and show how upset she is with her. Consider whether or not rhetorical questions are the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: “No! It was bad enough that you took my husband from me!” or “You already took my husband from me!”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּ֣אמֶר רָחֵ֗ל
and=she/it_said and=she/it_said Rāḩēl
Alternate translation: “Rachel said to her”
לָכֵן֙
for=so/thus/hence
Rachel’s response shows that she realizes that even though Leah was scolding her, she was also bargaining with her. Alternate translation: “Very well,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
יִשְׁכַּ֤ב עִמָּךְ֙ הַלַּ֔יְלָה
sleep with,you the=night
Alternate translation: “I will let him stay with you tonight” or “Jacob can stay with you tonight” or “Jacob can spend tonight with you”
תַּ֖חַת דּוּדָאֵ֥י בְנֵֽךְ

See how you translated “in exchange for” in Gen 29:18.
30:14-17 Mandrakes were considered an aphrodisiac and aid to procreation (see Song 7:13). Rachel thought they would help her get pregnant, so she traded Jacob for a night to get them. In the process, Leah got pregnant, not Rachel.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
