Genesis - ch 29 v 21 - 35

  1. And Jacob saith unto Laban, `Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;'
  2. and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet.
  3. And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her;
  4. and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant.
  5. And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it `is' Leah; and he saith unto Laban, `What `is' this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?'
  6. And Laban saith, `It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born;
  7. fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.'
  8. And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;
  9. and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.
  10. And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.
  11. And Jehovah seeth that Leah `is' the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel `is' barren;
  12. and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.'
  13. And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Because Jehovah hath heard that I `am' the hated one, He also giveth to me even this `one';' and she calleth his name Simeon.
  14. And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Now `is' the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath `one' called his name Levi.
  15. And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.
