30 So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years. 31 The LORD saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren. 32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, |Because God has looked at my affliction, and given me a son. For now my husband will love me.| 33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, |Because God has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also.| So she named him Simeon. 34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, |Now this time my husband will become attached to me, since I have given him three sons.| Therefore he was named Levi. 35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, |This time will I praise God.| Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing. Genesis 29:30-35, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
