Leah
Leah () appears in the Hebrew Bible as one of the two wives of the Israelite patriarch Jacob. She was Jacob's first wife, and the elder sister of his second (and favored) wife Rachel. Jacob is tricked into marrying Leah by her father, Laban, and subsequently marries Rachel. The narrative states that Leah was "hated" [by Jacob], or at any rate loved less than her sister.
Leah is the mother of Jacob's first son Reuben. She has three more sons, namely Simeon, Levi and Judah, but does not bear another son until Rachel offers her a night with Jacob in exchange for some mandrake root (דודאים, dûdâ'îm). Leah gives birth to two more sons after this, Issachar and Zebulun, and to Jacob's only daughter, Dinah.
