וַיָּבֹ֨א יַעֲקֹ֣ב מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה֮ בָּעֶרֶב֒ וַתֵּצֵ֨א לֵאָ֜ה לִקְרָאת֗וֹ וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵלַ֣י תָּב֔וֹא כִּ֚י שָׂכֹ֣ר שְׂכַרְתִּ֔יךָ בְּדוּדָאֵ֖י בְּנִ֑י וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב עִמָּ֖הּ בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הֽוּא׃
Y cuando Jacob volvía del campo á la tarde, salió Lea á él, y le dijo: A mí has de entrar, porque á la verdad te he alquilado por las mandrágoras de mi hijo. Y durmió con ella aquella noche.

There are those who explain this verse 'like mother like daughter', and those who explain 'like father like daughter'. Like mother, as it says "And Leah went out to greet him" (Bereishit 30:16). Just as this one went to greet her husband regarding a mitzvah matter, this one went out to shidduchim [matches]. Like father, as it says "And Ya'akov went out" (Bereishit 28:10). Just as this one went out into what belonged to his brother Eisav, so too this one went out into what belonged to her brothers, to find herself a place.
