Genesis 29:31-35

31 Now the Lord saw that Leah was ^{▼▼ Lit hated}unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32 Leah conceived and bore a son and named him ^{▼▼ I.e. see, a son}Reuben, for she said, “Because the Lord has ^{▼▼ Lit looked upon
,} ^dseen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.” 33 Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, ^e“Because the Lord has ^{▼▼ Heb shama, related to Simeon}heard that I am ^{▼▼ Lit hated}unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon. 34 She conceived again and bore a son and said, “Now this time my husband will become ^{▼▼ Heb lavah, related to Levi}attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore he was named ⁱLevi. 35 And she conceived again and bore a son and said, “This time I will ^{▼▼ Heb Jadah, related to Judah}praise the Lord.” Therefore she named him ^{▼▼ Heb Jehudah
,} ^lJudah. Then she stopped bearing.
