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

And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.

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

And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.

And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?

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

And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.

And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.

And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.

And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.

And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a second son.

And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.

And Reuben went out in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the fields; and he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

And when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

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

And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.

And Leah again conceived, and bore Jacob a sixth son;

and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,

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

And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he distributed the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants:

and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.

And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.

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

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

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.

These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan-Aram; and 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 she bore these to Jacob: sixteen souls.

There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife; and there I buried Leah.
