And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, - so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.

Now, Laban, had two daughters, - the name of the elder, Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel,

But, the eyes of Leah were weak, - whereas, Rachel, was comely in form and comely in countenance.

And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her in unto him, - and he went in unto her.

And Laban gave her Zilpah, his handmaid, unto Leah his daughter. as handmaid.

And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah, - and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me?

So he went in, unto Rachel also, and loved, Rachel also, more than Leah, - and he served with him, yet seven years more.

And, when Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, he granted her to bear children, - whereas, Rachel, was barren.

So Leah conceived, and hare a son, and called his name Reuben, - for she said, Because, Yahweh hath looked upon my humiliation, For, now, will my husband love me.

Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, - so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.

And Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bare to Jacob a son:

and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.

And Zilpah, Leah's handmaid bare a second son to Jacob;

and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.

Then went Reuben, in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes, in the field, and brought them in unto Leah his mother, and Rachel said unto Leah, Pray give me, stone of the mandrakes of thy son

And Jacob came in from the field, in the evening, so Leah went out to meet him and said: Unto me, shall thou come in, for I have hired, thee, even with the mandrakes of my son. And he lay with her that night,

And God hearkened unto Leah, - and she conceived and bare to Jacob a fifth son.

Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So she called his name, Issachar.

And Leah conceived again and bare a sixth son to Jacob.

Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.

So Jacob sent, and called for Rachel and for Leah, to the field unto his flock;

Then responded Rachel and Leah, and said to him, - Have we any longer a portion or an inheritance in the house of our father?

Then entered Laban into the tent of Jacob and into the tent of Leah and into the tent of the two handmaids, and found nothing, - then went he forth out of the tent of Leah, and entered into the tent of Rachel.

Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, - and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children - unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;

and put the handmaids and their children first, - and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;

Then came near Leah also with her children, - and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,

Let my lord, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards Seir.

Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, - to see the daughters of the land.

The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, - And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:

And the sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah, Gad and Asher: These, are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him, in Padan-aram.

And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, - and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.

Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.

and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.

Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.

And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, - I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.

Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;

And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.

Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told these things unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain them to me.

And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be - seven years of famine.

These, are the sons of Leah whom she bare to Jacob in Padan-aram, with Dinah also his daughter, - All the souls of his sons and of his daughters, were thirty-three.

These, are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, - so she bare these to Jacob, - sixteen souls.

There, buried they Abraham, and Sarah his wife, There, buried they Isaac, and Rebekah his wife, - And there, buried I Leah: -
