Gênesis 29:30-35

30 Então Jacó esteve também com Raquel; e amou a Raquel muito mais do que a Léia; e serviu com Labão ainda outros sete anos.

31 Viu, pois, o Senhor que Léia era desprezada e tornou-lhe fecunda a madre; Raquel, porém, era estéril.

32 E Léia concebeu e deu � luz um filho, a quem chamou Rúben; pois disse: Porque o Senhor atendeu � minha aflição; agora me amará meu marido.

33 Concebeu outra vez, e deu � luz um filho; e disse: Porquanto o Senhor ouviu que eu era desprezada, deu-me também este. E lhe chamou Simeão.

34 Concebeu ainda outra vez e deu � luz um filho e disse: Agora esta vez se unirá meu marido a mim, porque três filhos lhe tenho dado. Portanto lhe chamou Levi.

35 De novo concebeu e deu � luz um filho; e disse: Esta vez louvarei ao Senhor. Por isso lhe chamou Judá. E cessou de ter filhos.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 29

This chapter informs us of Jacob's coming to a well near Haran, where meeting with some shepherds he inquires after Laban, Ge 29:1-8; and there also with Rachel his daughter, the shepherds made known to him, and acquainted her who he was, Ge 29:9-12; upon which she ran to her father, and told him who was at the well, who went forth and brought him to his house, and kindly entertained him, Ge 29:13,14; with whom he agreed to stay and serve seven years for Rachel his daughter, Ge 29:15-20; at the end of which Jacob demands his wife, but instead of Rachel, Leah was brought to him as his wife, Ge 29:21-25; which being discovered, and complained of, it was proposed he should have Rachel also, provided he would serve yet seven years more, to which he agreed, Ge 29:26-30; and the chapter is concluded with an account of four sons being born to Jacob of Leah, Ge 29:31-35.
