*
And Jacob said unto Laban ,
Give me my wife ,
for my days are fulfilled ,
that I may go in unto her .
*
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place ,
and made a feast .
*
And it came to pass in the evening ,
that he took Leah his daughter ,
and brought her to him ;
and he went in unto her .
*
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid .
*
And it came to pass ,
that in the morning ,
behold ,
it was Leah Le #
ah #:
and he said to Laban ,
What is this thou hast done unto me ?
did not I serve with thee for Rachel ?
wherefore then hast thou beguiled me ?
*
And Laban said ,
It must not be so done in our country ,
to give the younger before the firstborn .
*
Fulfil her week ,
and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years .
*
And Jacob did so ,
and fulfilled her week :
and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also .
*
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid .
*
And he went in also unto Rachel ,
and he loved also Rachel more than Leah Le #
ah #,
and served with him yet seven other years .
*
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated ,
he opened her womb :
but Rachel was barren .
*
And Leah conceived ,
and bare a son ,
and she called his name Reuben R @#
uwben #:
for she said ,
Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction ;
now therefore my husband will love me .
*
And she conceived again ,
and bare a son ;
and said ,
Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated ,
he hath therefore given me this son also :
and she called his name Simeon Shim #
own #.
*
And she conceived again ,
and bare a son ;
and said ,
Now this time will my husband be joined unto me ,
because I have born him three sons :
therefore was his name called Levi .
*
And she conceived again ,
and bare a son :
and she said ,
Now will I praise the LORD :
therefore she called his name Judah ;
and left bearing .
