And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.

Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

And Leah's eyes were clouded, but Rachel was fair in face and form.

And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.

And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.

And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.

Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.

And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.

And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.

Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us in our father's house?

So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.

Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.

He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph at the back.

And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.

All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.

These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah, and Jacob had these sixteen children by her.

There Abraham and Sarah his wife were put to rest, and there they put Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I put Leah to rest.

You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.

And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,

And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?

His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.

And with an iron pen and lead be cut into the rock for ever!

A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.

He who puts his faith in wealth will come to nothing; but the upright man will be full of growth like the green leaf.

And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.

For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.

The blower is blowing strongly, the lead is burned away in the fire: they go on heating the metal to no purpose, for the evil-doers are not taken away.

I will put an end to them completely, says the Lord: there are no grapes on the vine and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry.

For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.

As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.

Tarshish did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth; they gave silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.

And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end: it will have new fruit every month, because its waters come out from the holy place: the fruit will be for food and the leaf will make well those who are ill.

And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.

And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

The earth gives fruit by herself; first the leaf, then the head, then the full grain.

And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.
