Genesis 29:31-33

31And when Yhwh saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely Yhwh hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.1 33And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, because Yhwh hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.2
