31. The Lord saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32. Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the Lord has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
33. She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34. She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35. She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
