Leah is the sister of Rachel. Her name means weary. She is the oldest daughter of Laban and the first wife of Jacob. She was not a beautiful woman. Leah became the wife of Jacob because her father Laban tricked Jacob into marrying her. Although Leah was Jacob's first wife, he loved Rachel more than her. Leah gave Jacob four sons, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah. After Leah gave birth to four sons, she left off bearing. For that reason, she gave Jacob Zilpah her handmaiden to have children by her. Zilpah gave birth to two sons. After the two sons of Zilpah were born, Leah began to conceive again, and she gave birth to two more sons and a daughter. The names of these sons are Issachar and Zebulun. The name of her daughter is Dinah. When Leah died, they buried her in the cave of Machpelah.
