Strong's Lexicon Leah: Leah Original Word: לֵאָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root לָאָה (la'ah), meaning "weary" or "tired." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Leah in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the name appears in the Greek New Testament in genealogical contexts, such as in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, where it is transliterated as Λεία (Leia). Usage: Leah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a significant female figure in the patriarchal narratives. Context: Leah is a prominent biblical character, known as the first wife of Jacob and the elder sister of Rachel. She is introduced in Genesis 29, where she is described as having "weak eyes" (Genesis 29:17, BSB), a phrase often interpreted to mean that her eyes lacked the luster or beauty attributed to her sister Rachel. Despite Jacob's preference for Rachel, Leah becomes his first wife through the deception of her father, Laban, who substitutes her for Rachel on Jacob's wedding night (Genesis 29:23-25, BSB).
