Now Laban had two daughters: the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.
That evening, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
When morning came, there was Leah! So he said to Laban, “What have you done to me? Wasn’t it for Rachel that I worked for you? Why have you deceived me? ”
Jacob slept with Rachel also, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.
When the LORD saw that Leah was neglected, he opened her womb; but Rachel was unable to conceive.
Leah conceived, gave birth to a son, and named him Reuben,[fn] for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction; surely my husband will love me now.”
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her slave Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother Leah, Rachel asked, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband,” and she named him Issachar.[fn]
“God has given me a good gift,” Leah said. “This time my husband will honor me because I have borne six sons for him,” and she named him Zebulun.[fn]
Then Rachel and Leah answered him, “Do we have any portion or inheritance in our father’s family?
So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, Leah’s tent, and the tents of the two concubines,[fn] but he found nothing. When he left Leah’s tent, he went into Rachel’s tent.
Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two slave women.
He put the slaves and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
Leah’s daughter Dinah, whom Leah bore to Jacob, went out to see some of the young women of the area.
Leah’s sons were Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn),
Simeon, Levi, Judah,
Issachar, and Zebulun.
The sons of Leah’s slave Zilpah
were Gad and Asher.
These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
These were Leah’s sons born to Jacob in Paddan-aram, as well as his daughter Dinah. The total number of persons:[fn] thirty-three.
These were the sons of Zilpah — whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah — that she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.
“Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried there, Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried there, and I buried Leah there.
