Genesis 29 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
30 And having at length obtained the marriage that he wished, he preferred the love of the later before the former, serving with him other seven years.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah
31 And our Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, her sister remaining barren.
32 Who conceived and bare a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: Our Lord saw mine affliction: now my husband will love me.
33 And again she conceived and bare a son, and said: For because our Lord heard that I was contemned, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon.
34 And she conceived the third time, and bare another son: and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, for because I have born him three sons: and therefore she called his name, Levi.
