| Domain | Definition |
Bible | Leah weary, the eldest daughter of Laban, and sister of Rachel (Gen. 29:16). Jacob took her to wife through a deceit of her father (Gen. 29:23). She was "tender-eyed" (17). She bore to Jacob six sons (32-35), also one daughter, Dinah (30:21). She accompanied Jacob into Canaan, and died there before the time of the going down into Egypt (Gen. 31), and was buried in the cave of Machpelah (49:31). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In the Book of Genesis, Leah is the first wife of Jacob.
She is the daughter of Laban, older sister of Rachel, and mother of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun and Dinah.
Leah had a bitter life, knowing that her younger sister Rachel was her husband Jacob's favourite and always had been. Jacob only married Leah because of Laban's trickery. She died before Jacob left for Egypt and was buried in Hebron. However, one of Jacob's last wishes was to be buried where he had buried her, which Joseph did, see Genesis 49:29, 50:13.
