23. But in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob had relations with her.
24. Laban gave Zilpah his maid to his daughter Leah for a maidservant.
25. In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah, and he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?”
26. Then Laban said, “It is not the custom in our country to marry off the younger before the firstborn.
27. Fulfill the period of seven days for this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
28. Jacob did so and completed her week. Then Laban gave him Rachel his daughter as his wife also.
29. Laban gave Bilhah his maidservant to Rachel his daughter to be her maid.
30. So Jacob also had relations with Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah and served Laban another seven years.
31. When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32. Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Surely the Lord has looked upon my affliction. Now therefore my husband will love me.”
33. She conceived again and gave birth to a son and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I was unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” Then she called his name Simeon.
34. She conceived again and gave birth to a son and said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35. She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now I will praise the Lord!” Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped giving birth.
