<p> | <p> [[Leah]] (''lç'ah'' ), ''wearied.'' The elder daughter of Laban. Her eyes were delicate and weak. Genesis 29:16-17. By her father Laban's deceit she was married to Jacob; she bore him six sons and a daughter, but seems to have been ever painfully sensible that her husband's affections were given mainly to her sister Rachel. Genesis 29:21-25; Genesis 29:31-35; Genesis 30:1-21. She willingly accompanied Jacob into Canaan, Genesis 31:1-55; and there she died, when, is not stated, but it was before the family of [[Israel]] went down into Egypt, and she was buried in the cave of Machpelah. Genesis 49:31. </p> | ||
