Genesis 29:30-32
1599 Geneva Bible
30 So entered he in to Rachel also, and loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served him yet seven years more.
31 ¶ When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he [a]made her [b]fruitful: but Rachel was barren.
32 And Leah conceived and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the [c]Lord hath looked upon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will [d]love me.
