Legacy Standard Bible
31 And Yahweh saw that Leah was [a]unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32 So Leah conceived and bore a son and named him [b]Reuben, for she said, “Because Yahweh has [c](A)seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.” 33 Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, “(B)Because Yahweh has [d]heard that I am [e]unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon.

Jacob’s Children
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved,(A) he enabled her to conceive,(B) but Rachel remained childless. 32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(C) She named him Reuben,[a](D) for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery.(E) Surely my husband will love me now.”
33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the Lord heard that I am not loved,(F) he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.[b](G)
Footnotes
- Genesis 29:32 Reuben sounds like the Hebrew for he has seen my misery; the name means see, a son.
- Genesis 29:33 Simeon probably means one who hears.
