Le'ah

The elder daughter of Laban, given to Jacob in place of Rachel through Laban’s deceit (Genesis 29:16-25). The text says her eyes were weak (Genesis 29:17) and that the LORD opened her womb because she was unloved (Genesis 29:31). She bore Jacob six sons — Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun — and a daughter, Dinah (Genesis 29:31-35; 30:17-21). Jacob states that she was buried in the cave of Machpelah (Genesis 49:31). Her birth year and the year of her death are not given in the text; the bar reflects an estimate.
