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

And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.

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