Bereshis 29:30-35 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

30. And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served him yet sheva shanim acherot.

31. And when Hashem saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb but Rachel was barren.

32. And Leah conceived, and bore a ben, and she called shmo Reuven: for she said, Surely Hashem hath looked upon my misery; now therefore my ish will love me.

33. And she conceived again, and bore ben; and said, Because Hashem hath heard I was hated, He hath therefore given me this also; and she called shmo Shimon.

34. And she conceived again, and bore ben; and said, Now this time will my ish yillaveh (become attached) unto me, because I have born him shloshah banim: therefore was shmo called Levi.

35. And she conceived again, and bore ben; and she said, Now will odeh (I praise) Hashem; therefore she called shmo Yehudah; and stopped giving birth.
