31
When the LORD saw that Leah was 1hated, 2he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32
And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD 3has looked upon 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 given me this son also." And she called his name Simeon.
34
Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be 4attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore his name was called Levi.
35
And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she called his name 5Judah. Then she ceased bearing.
