The Lord Blesses Leah with Sons
Genesis 29:31-35
31
The LORD 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 the LORD has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me.”
33
She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34
She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, “Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time will I praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
