29. (Laban gave his slave girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)
30. So Jacob had intimate relations with Rachel also. And Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah. Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
31. The Lord saw that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah. So the Lord made it possible for Leah to have children. But Rachel did not have any children.
32. Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, 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. She said, “The Lord has heard that I am not loved. So he gave me this son.”
34. Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Levi. Leah said, “Now, surely my husband will be close to me. I have given him three sons.”
35. Then Leah gave birth to another son. She named him Judah. Leah named him this because she said, “Now I will praise the Lord.” Then Leah stopped having children.
