Genesis 29:27-35 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

27. “Complete the week of this one, then we give you this one too, for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years.”

28. And Ya‛aqoḇ did so and completed her week. Then he gave him his daughter Raḥĕl too, as wife.

29. And Laḇan gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Raḥĕl as a female servant.

30. And he also went in to Raḥĕl, and he also loved Raḥĕl more than Lĕ’ah. And he served with Laḇan still another seven years.

31. And יהוה saw that Lĕ’ah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Raḥĕl was barren.

32. And Lĕ’ah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Re’uḇĕn, for she said, “For יהוה has looked on my affliction, because now my husband is going to love me.”

33. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because יהוה has heard that I am unloved, He gave me this son too.” And she called his name Shim‛on.

34. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband is joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So his name was called Lĕwi.

35. And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I praise יהוה.” So she called his name Yehuḏah. And she ceased bearing.
