Genesis 29:30-34

30Jacob slept withH935 H413 RachelH7354 as wellH1571, and indeedH1571 , he lovedH157 RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812. So he workedH5647 forH5973 LabanH5750 anotherH312 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.

31When the LORDH3068 sawH7200 thatH3588 LeahH3812 was unlovedH8130, He openedH6605 her wombH7358; but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135. 32And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121, and she named himH7121 H8034 ReubenH7205,1 forH3588 she saidH559, “The LORDH3068 has seenH7200 my afflictionH6040 H3588. SurelyH3588 my husbandH376 will love meH157 nowH6258.”

33AgainH5750 she conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121, and she saidH559, “Because the LORDH3068 H3588 has heardH8085 thatH3588 IH595 am unlovedH8130, He has givenH5414 me thisH2088 son as wellH1571 .” So she named himH7121 H8034 SimeonH8095.2

34Once againH5750 Leah conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121, and she saidH559, “NowH6258 at lastH6471 my husbandH376 will become attachedH3867 to meH413, becauseH3588 I have borneH3205 him threeH7969 sonsH1121.” SoH5921 H3651 he was namedH7121 H8034 LeviH3878.3

Notes

1. Genesis 29:32 Reuben means Look, a son and also sounds like the Hebrew for He has seen my misery. ↩
2. Genesis 29:33 Simeon probably means one who hears. ↩
3. Genesis 29:34 Levi sounds like the Hebrew for being attached to or feeling affection for. ↩
