¹⁶ And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder `is' Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,

³¹ (there they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah);

¹¹ And all the people who `are' in the gate say -- also the elders -- `Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem;

¹⁷ and the eyes of Leah `are' tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance.

²⁵ And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it `is' Leah; and he saith unto Laban, `What `is' this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?'

²⁶ And Laban saith, `It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born;

²⁷ fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.'

²⁸ And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;

²⁹ and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.

³⁰ And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.

³¹ And Jehovah seeth that Leah `is' the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel `is' barren;

³² and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.'

¹⁹ And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,

⁴ And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;

² and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

²³ And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

¹⁵ These `are' sons of Leah whom she bare to Jacob in Padan-Aram, and Dinah his daughter; all the persons of his sons and his daughters `are' thirty and three.
