Genesis 29:32-34
Easy-to-Read Version
32 Leah gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben.[a] She named him this because she said, “The Lord has seen my troubles. My husband does not love me. So now maybe my husband will love me.”
33 Leah became pregnant again and had another son. She named this son Simeon.[b] She said, “The Lord has heard that I am not loved, so he gave me this son.”
34 Leah became pregnant again and had another son. She named this son Levi.[c] She said, “Now, surely my husband will love me. I have given him three sons.”
