Genesis 29:32-34

New Living Translation

³² So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,^[a] for she said, “The Lord has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me.”

³³ She soon became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Simeon,^[b] for she said, “The Lord heard that I was unloved and has given me another son.”

³⁴ Then she became pregnant a third time and gave birth to another son. He was named Levi,^[c] for she said, “Surely this time my husband will feel affection for me, since I have given him three sons!”
