22. So Laban gathered all the men of the place and prepared a feast.
23. And it happened that in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in to her.
24. And Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to her, to Leah his daughter as a female servant.
25. And it happened that in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Now why did you deceive me?”
26. Then Laban said, “It is not the custom in our country to give the younger before the firstborn.
27. Complete the week of this one, then I will also give you the other, on the condition that you will work for me another seven years.”
28. And Jacob did so. So he completed the week of this one, then he gave Rachel his daughter to him as a wife.
29. And Laban gave Bilhah his female servant to Rachel his daughter as a female servant.
30. Then he also went in to Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.
31. When Yahweh saw that Leah was unloved he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32. Then Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Because Yahweh has noticed my misery, that I am unloved. Now my husband will love me.”
33. And she conceived again and gave birth to a son. And she said, “It is because Yahweh has heard that I am unloved that he gave me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon.
34. And she conceived again and gave birth to a son. Then she said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, for I have borne him three sons.” Therefore, she called his name Levi.
35. And she conceived again and gave birth to a son. And she said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased bearing children.
