27 Finish the wedding feast for this one, and then I will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me yet another seven years. 28 And Jacob did so, and finished her wedding feast; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife. 29 And Laban gave Bilhah his maid to Rachel his daughter to be her maid. 30 And he went in unto Rachel also, and he loved Rachel also more than Leah, and served with Laban another seven years. 31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Because the LORD has seen my affliction, now therefore my husband will love me. 33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also; so she called his name Simeon. 34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time my husband will surely love me, because I have born him three sons therefore she called his name Levi. 35 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time I will praise the LORD; therefore she called his name Judah; and then she ceased bearing.
