Genesis 29:32-35
32And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben,1 for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”
33Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.2
34Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.3
35And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah.4 Then Leah stopped having children.
