Genesis 29:31-33

International Children’s Bible

Jacob’s Family Grows

³¹ The Lord saw that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah. So the Lord made it possible for Leah to have children. But Rachel did not have any children. ³² Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,^[a] because she said, “The Lord has seen my troubles. Surely now my husband will love me.”

³³ Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Simeon.^[b] She said, “The Lord has heard that I am not loved. So he gave me this son.”
