What the Bible says

Genesis 29:16, 23-25

¹⁶Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel. ²³And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him, ²⁴Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia: ²⁵And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?

Genesis 29:30-31

³⁰And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years. ³¹And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.

Genesis 29:32-35; Genesis 30:17-21

³²And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me. ³³And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon. ³⁴And she conceived the third time, and bore another son: and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi. ³⁵The fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and said: now will I praise the Lord: and for this she called him Juda. And she left bearing.
