Genesis 29:28-35 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

28. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.

29. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.

30. And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

31. And the Lord saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

32. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.

33. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the Lord hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

34. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

35. And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left bearing.
