And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.

לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ (לִ) li “to”לוֹ֙ (ל) l “<to> <the>”ל֔וֹ (ל֔) l “<to> <the>”לְלָבָ֔ן (לְ) le. “to”

And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.

לוֹ֙ (ל) l “to <the>”

Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?

לְיַעֲקֹ֔ב (לְ) le. “to”לִּ֖י (לִּ֖) l “to <the>”

Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

וּלְלָבָ֖ן (לְ) le. “[belonged] to”

And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.

לָ֔ךְ (לָ֔) La “to <the>”לְאִ֣ישׁ (לְ) le. “to”

And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.

לָ֔הּ (לָ֔) La “to <the>”לְלֵאָ֥ה (לְ) le. “to”

And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

לִּ֔י (לִּ֔) L “to <the>”וְלָ֖מָּה (לָ֖) La. “<to>”

And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.

לָתֵ֥ת (לָ) la. “to”לִפְנֵ֥י (לִ) li “<to>”

Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.

לְךָ֜ (לְ) le. “to <the>”

And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.

ל֛וֹ (ל֛) l “to <the>”ל֥וֹ (ל֥) l “of”לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ (לְ) le. “to”

And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.

לְרָחֵ֣ל (לְ) le. “to”לָ֖הּ (לָ֖) la “to”לְשִׁפְחָֽה׃ (לְ) le. “to”

Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

לִ֖י (לִ֖) l “to <the>”

And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

ל֖וֹ (ל֖) l “to <the>”

Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

לְיַעֲקֹ֔ב (לְ) le. “to”לִּ֣י (לִּ֣) l “to <the>”

So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.

ל֛וֹ (ל֛) l “to <the>”לְאִשָּׁ֑ה (לְ) le. “to”

And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

לְיַעֲקֹ֖ב (לְ) le. “to”

Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

לִ֖י (לִ֖) l “to <the>”

And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

לְיַעֲקֹֽב׃ (לְ) le. “to”

When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

לְיַעֲקֹ֖ב (לְ) le. “to”לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ (לְ) le. “to”

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

לְיַעֲקֹ֥ב (לְ) le. “to”

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

לְיַעֲקֹֽב׃ (לְ) le. “to”

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

לִ֔י (לִ֔) L “to <the>”

But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

לָ֗הּ (לָ֗) La “to <the>”וְלָקַ֕חַת (לָ) la. “to”לָכֵן֙ (לָ) la. “<to>”

In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

לִקְרָאת֗וֹ (לִ) li “to”

And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.
