30 Jacob slept with Rachel (little lamb) as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah (weary). So he worked for Laban another seven years. 31 When the LORD {YHWH} saw that Leah (weary) was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel (little lamb) was barren. 32 And Leah (weary) conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben (behold a son), for she said, “The LORD {YHWH} has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.” 33 Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD {YHWH} has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon (one who hears). 34 Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi (attached to). 35 And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD {YHWH}.” So she named him Judah (praise). Then Leah stopped having children. Genesis 29:30-35, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
