Leah
Weary.

Eldest daughter of Laban. She became Jacob's wife through a trick of Laban's, who passed her off as his daughter Rachel; being veiled, the mistake was not discovered till after the marriage had taken place (Gen. 29). She became the mother of six sons and one daughter (Gen. 29: 30-32; Gen. 30: 17-21; see also Gen. 31: 4, 14, 33; Gen. 33: 1-2, 7; Gen. 35: 23, 26; Gen. 49: 31).
