23. And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
24. And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.
25. And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?
26. And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27. Fulfil the week with this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years.
28. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week with this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife.
29. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.
30. And he went in also to Rachel; and he loved also Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet seven other years.
31. And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32. And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
33. And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
34. And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
35. And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.
