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

And Leah's eyes were tender. But Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

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

And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

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

And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb. But Rachel was barren.

And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction. For now my husband will love me.

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

And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bare Jacob a son.

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

And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bare Jacob a second son.

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

And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

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

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

And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

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

And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now 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 field unto his flock,

And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto 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 tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. 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 divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

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

and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.

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