Leah

Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia; and the younger was called Rachel.

But Lia was blear-eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.

And at night he brought in Lia, his daughter, to him,

Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom, when morning was come he saw it was Lia.

And he said to his father-in-law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?

And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years.

And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.

And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me.

Lia perceiving that she had left of bearing, gave Zelpha, her handmaid, to her husband.

And when she had conceived, and brought forth a son,

She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.

Zelpha also bore another.

And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.

And Ruben going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes.

And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.

And God heard her prayers; and she conceived: and bore a fifth son:

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

And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,

And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry; this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.

He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,

And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father's house?

So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel's tent,

And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids.

And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.

Lia also, with her children, came near and bowed down in like manner; and last of all, Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
