Genesis 29:32-35

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

34And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.3

35And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise Yhwh: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.45
