The Children of Jacob

The Lord opened the womb of Leah. Her firstborn son was named Reuben, or "look, a son." Her hope was that Jacob would now love her more because she had borne him a son. She named her second son Simeon, or "heard." She felt the Lord had heard she was not as well loved as her sister. Next, she bore a son she named Levi, or "will be joined." Her hope was that Jacob would now be joined to her. She named her fourth son Judah, or "will praise," because she was now praising the Lord (Genesis 29:31-35).
