and the dove came to him again about eventide, and behold: there was in her mouth a leaf of an olive tree which she had plucked, whereby Noah perceived that the waters were abated upon the earth.

Pharaoh also gave a charge unto his men over Abram, to lead him out, with his wife and all that he had.

And Laban had two daughters, the eldest called Lea and the youngest Rachel.

Lea was tender eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

And when even was come, he took Lea his daughter and brought her to him and he went in unto her.

And Laban gave unto his daughter Lea, Zilpah his maid, to be her servant.

And when the morning was come, behold, it was Lea. Then said he to Laban, "Wherefore hast thou played thus with me? Did not I serve thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?"

So lay he by Rachel also, and loved Rachel more than Lea, and served him yet seven years more.

When the LORD saw that Lea was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rachel was barren.

And Lea conceived and bare a son, and called his name Reuben, for she said, "The LORD hath looked upon my tribulation. And now my husband will love me."

When Lea saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

And Zilpah Lea's maid bare Jacob a son.

Then said Lea, "Good luck," and called his name Gad.

And Zilpah, Lea's maid, bare Jacob another son.

Then said Lea, "Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed." And called his name Asher.

And Reuben went out in the wheat harvest and found mandragoras in the fields, and brought them unto his mother Lea. Then said Rachel to Lea, "Give me of thy son's mandragoras."

And Lea answered, "Is it not enough, that thou hast taken away my husband, but wouldest take away my son's mandragoras also?" Then said Rachel, "Well, let him sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandragoras."

And when Jacob came from the fields at even, Lea went out to meet him, and said, "Come in to me, for I have bought thee with my son's mandragoras." And he slept with her that night.

And God heard Lea, that she conceived and bare unto Jacob the fifth son.

Then said Lea, "God hath given me my reward, because I gave my maiden to my husband." And she called him Issachar.

And Lea conceived yet again and bare Jacob the sixth son.

Then Jacob sent and called Rachel and Lea to the field unto his sheep,

And he said, 'Lift up thine eyes and see how all the rams that leap upon the sheep are streaked, spotted and party: for I have seen all that Laban doth unto thee.

Then answered Rachel and Lea and said unto him, "We have no part nor inheritance in our father's house:

Then went Laban into Jacob's tent, and into Lea's tent, and into two maidens' tents: but found them not. Then went he out of Lea's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

Jacob lift up his eyes and saw his brother Esau come, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Lea and unto Rachel and unto the two maidens.

And he put the maidens and their children foremost, and Lea and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

Lea also and her children came and did their obeisance. And last of all came Joseph and Rachel and did their obeisance.

Dina, the daughter of Lea which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

The sons of Lea: Reuben, Jacob's eldest son, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulon.

The sons of Zilpah, Lea's maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons which were born him in Mesopotamia.

And him thought that seven other cows came up after them out of the river; evil favored and lean fleshed and stood by the other upon the brink of the river.

And the evil favored and lean fleshed cows ate up the seven well favored and fat cows: and he awoke therewith.

And then seven other cows came up after them, poor and very evil favored and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like, in all the land of Egypt, in evil favoredness.

And the seven lean and evil favored cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

There they buried Abraham and Sara his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife. And there I buried Lea:
