Contents
Leah had weak (or delicate) eyes.
She was given to Jacob by Laban, even though Jacob wanted to marry Rachel. Laban gave Leah Zilpah as her maidservant. Jacob did not love Leah which caused God to act. God opened the womb of Leah but closed the one of Rachel. All in all, Leah then gave birth to six children.
