Genesis 29:31-33

Names of God Bible

Leah and Rachel Compete for Jacob’s Love

³¹ When Yahweh saw Leah was unloved, he made it possible for her to have children, but Rachel had none. ³² Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben [Here’s My Son], because she said, “Certainly, Yahweh has seen my misery; now my husband will love me!” ³³ She became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Certainly, Yahweh has heard that I’m unloved, and he also has given me this son.” So she named him Simeon [Hearing].
