31 When the Lord saw that Leah was ^whated, ^xhe opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32 And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben,¹ for she said, “Because the Lord ^yhas 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.² 34 Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will be ^zattached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.³ 35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she called his name ^aJudah.⁴ Then she ceased bearing.
