Genesis 29:32-35
New International Version
32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(A) She named him Reuben,[a](B) for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery.(C) Surely my husband will love me now.”
33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the Lord heard that I am not loved,(D) he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.[b](E)
34 Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me,(F) because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.[c](G)
35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah.[d](H) Then she stopped having children.(I)
