And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
The name of the elder was Leah (weak-eyed, Gesenius), and the name of the younger was Rachel, х Raacheel (H7354), sheep, ewe] - who might be so called from the mildness of her temper, or, as Harmer suggests, from the reverse (Genesis 30:1). Since, however, Jacob and Laban used different languages (Genesis 31:47), these names of the two daughters may only be the Hebrew equivalents of the original names.
