Genesis 29:31-35

31 Now the Lord saw that Leah was ^{▼▼Lit hated}unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was unable to have children. 32 Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and named him ^{▼▼I.e., see, a son}Reuben, for she said, “Because the Lord has ^{▼▼Lit looked at
,} ^dseen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.” 33 Then she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said, “ ^eBecause 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 And she conceived again and gave birth to 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 gave birth to 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 having children.
