Kepha kwathi kusihlwa wathatha uLeya indodakazi yakhe , wamyisa kuye; wangena kuye.

ULabani wanika indodakazi yakhe uLeya incekukazi yakhe uZil ipa, abe yincekukazi yakhe.

UJehova ebona ukuthi uLeya uyazondwa , wavula isizalo sakhe ; kepha uRaheli wayeyinyumba.

ULeya wakhulelwa , wazala indodana , waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uRubeni, ngokuba wathi : UJehova ubonile ukuhlupheka kwami ; manje umyeni wami uyakungithanda.

ULeya wayesethi : Kwenziwe inhlanhla , waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uGadi.

Wayesethi uLeya : Yisibusiso sami ! Ngokuba izintombi ziyakungibiza ngokuthi ngingobusisiweyo, waqamba igama layo ngokuthi u-Asheri.

Kusihlwa uJakobe esebuya endle , uLeya waya ukumhlangabeza , wathi: Ngena kimi , ngokuba impela ngikuqashile ngamamandragora endodana yami. Wayeselala naye ngalobo busuku.

UNkulunkulu wamuzwa uLeya ; wakhulelwa, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesihlanu.

Wayesethi uLeya : UNkulunkulu unginikile umvuzo , lokhu ngamnika umyeni wami incekukazi yami, waqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi u-Isakare.

ULeya wabuye wakhulelwa, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesithupha.

Wayesethi uLeya: UNkulunkulu ungiphe isipho esihle ; manje umyeni wami useyakuhlala kimi , ngokuba ngimzalele amadodana ayisithupha , waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uZebuloni.

ULeya esebonile ukuthi ukhawulile ukuzala , wamthatha uZilipa incekukazi yakhe, wamupha uJakobe, abe ngumkakhe.

Wabeka izincekukazi n abantwana bazo ngaphambili, uLeya nabantwana bakhe ngasemuva, oRaheli noJosefa ngasekugcineni.

Yilawo angamadodana kaZilipa uLabani amnika yena uLeya indodakazi yakhe; wamzalela wona uJakobe, abantu abayishumi nesithupha.

lapho bembela o -Abrahama noSara umkakhe ; lapho bembela o -Isaka noRebeka umkakhe; lapho ngembela uLeya;
