25. In the morning, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
26. Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27. Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years.”
28. Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29. Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his servant, to be her servant.
30. He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31. Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32. Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me.”
33. She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34. She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, “Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35. She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time will I praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
