Berĕshith (Genesis) 29:16-18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30-31, 35 TS2009

[16] And Laḇan had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lĕ’ah, and the name of the younger was Raḥĕl. [17] And Lĕ’ah’s eyes were weak, but Raḥĕl was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance. [18] And Ya‛aqoḇ loved Raḥĕl, so he said, “Let me serve you seven years for Raḥĕl your younger daughter.”

[20] So Ya‛aqoḇ served seven years for Raḥĕl, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

[23] And it came to be in the evening, that he took Lĕ’ah his daughter and brought her to Ya‛aqoḇ. And he went in to her.

[25] And in the morning it came to be, that see, it was Lĕ’ah. So he said to Laḇan, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Raḥĕl that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?”

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

[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.

[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.
