Genesis 29:31-33

New Century Version

Jacob’s Family Grows

³¹ When the Lord saw that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah, he made it possible for Leah to have children, but not Rachel. 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] and said, “The Lord has heard that I am not loved, so he has given me this son.”
