Genesis 29:30-34

30And he went inH935 also unto RachelH7354, and he lovedH157 also RachelH7354 more than LeahH3812, and servedH5647 with him yet sevenH7651 otherH312 yearsH8141.

31And when YhwhH3068 sawH7200 that LeahH3812 was hatedH8130, he openedH6605 her wombH7358: but RachelH7354 was barrenH6135. 32And LeahH3812 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121, and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 ReubenH7205: forH3588 she saidH559, SurelyH3588 YhwhH3068 hath lookedH7200 upon my afflictionH6040; now thereforeH3588 my husbandH376 will loveH157 me.1 33And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, because YhwhH3068 hath heardH8085 that I was hatedH8130, he hath therefore givenH5414 me this son also: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 SimeonH8095.2 34And she conceived againH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, Now this timeH6471 will my husbandH376 be joinedH3867 unto me, because I have bornH3205 him threeH7969 sonsH1121: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 LeviH3878.3
