Historical figure from The Holy Bible / Hebrew Torah, Leah (also Le'a or La'ya) was the first of the two concurrent wives of the Patriarch Jacob and mother of six sons whose descendants became half of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, along with one daughter, Dinah. Leah was the daughter of Laban and the older sister of Rachel, whom Jacob also married. Jacob and Leah's six sons were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. Leah is thought to be buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron alongside Jacob. This cave also houses the graves of Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac and Rebekah.
