31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, 'Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me.'
33 She conceived again, and bare a son, and said, 'Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.' She named him Simeon.
34 She conceived again, and bare a son. Said, 'Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.' Therefore was his name called Levi.
35 She conceived again, and bare a son. She said, 'This time will I praise Yahweh.' Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
