Rachel and Leah (biblical figures)

Rachel and Leah are biblical sisters and the daughters of Laban, featured in the Book of Genesis. They both loved Jacob, who worked for Laban to marry one of them. Jacob initially loved Rachel, but Laban deceived him into marrying Leah first. Rachel, though loved, was initially barren, while Leah, less loved but fertile, bore many children. Their story reflects themes of love, rivalry, and divine blessing. Rachel's son, Joseph, became a key biblical figure, and Leah's sons founded prominent tribes of Israel, emphasizing their significance in biblical history.
