The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because the LORD has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me."

When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

Leah said, "How fortunate." She named him Gad.

Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a second son.

Leah said, "Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy." She named him Asher.

Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." He lay with her that night.

God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

Leah said, "God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband." She named him Issachar.

Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun.

Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,

He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.

Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he did not find them. He went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids.

He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir."

Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three.

These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls.

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