Leah
Leah ''La'ya;'' from (; ) appears in the Hebrew Bible as one of the two wives of the Biblical patriarch Jacob. Leah was Jacob's first wife, and the older sister of his second (and favored) wife Rachel. She is the mother of Jacob's first son Reuben. She has three more sons, namely Simeon, Levi and Judah, but does not bear another son until Rachel offers her a night with Jacob in exchange for some mandrake root (, ''dûdâ'îm''). Leah gives birth to two more sons after this, Issachar and Zebulun, and to Jacob's only daughter, Dinah. Biblical narrative Overview Leah first appears in the Book of Genesis, in Genesis 29, which describes her as the daughter of Laban and the older sister of Rachel, and is said to not compare to Rachel's physical beauty and that she has tender eyes.) (Genesis 29:17). It is debated as to whether the adjective "tender" () should be taken to mean "delicate and soft" or "weary". Some translations say that it may have meant blue or light colored eyes. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leah (sculpture)
''Leah'' is a sculpture by Michelangelo of the Old Testament figure Leah. Like the artist's ''Rachel'', it was part of the final, 1542–1545 design for the tomb of Pope Julius II in San Pietro in Vincoli, on which it still remains. History With Michelangelo's ''Rachel'', the statue of ''Leah'' completed the decoration of the last version of the funeral monument of Pope Julius II in 1542–1545, a troubled work to which the artist dedicated almost 40 years. Intended for the right niche, next to the older and successful '' Moses'' statue, the work is documented in a plea to Pope Paul III of July 20, 1542, which reported that the works were progressing well. A month after, Michelangelo contracted Raffaello da Montelupo to bring the five remaining statues of the tomb to completion, including ''Leah'' and ''Rachel''. He reserved for these last two, however, a new execution by his own hand. It seems that the cleaning and finishing was left to his assistant. After the completion o ...
