Génesis 29:32 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 29:32

And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name
Reuben
That is, "see the son", as if she by this name called upon her husband, her friends, and all about her, to look at him, and view him; perhaps hoping and imagining he might be the famous son, the promised seed, the Messiah that was to spring to Abraham, in the line of Jacob; but if she so thought, she was greatly mistaken; for this son of hers proved unstable, and did not excel; or rather God hath seen or provided a son, as Hillerus F23 gives the signification of the name, which seems better to agree with what follows: for she said, surely the Lord hath looked on my affliction;
being deceived by her father, not so much loved by her husband as her sister was, and perhaps slighted by her: now therefore my husband will love me:
more than he has done, and equally as my sister, having bore him a son.

Génesis 29:32 In-Context

30 Entonces Jacob durmió también con Raquel, y la amó mucho más que a Lea. Y se quedó allí y trabajó para Labán los siete años adicionales.
31 Los muchos hijos de Jacob
Cuando el Señor
vio que Lea no era amada, le concedió que tuviera hijos, pero Raquel no podía concebir.
32 Así que Lea quedó embarazada y dio a luz un hijo, a quien llamó Rubén,
porque dijo: «El Señor
se ha dado cuenta de mi sufrimiento, y ahora mi esposo me amará».
33 Al poco tiempo, volvió a quedar embarazada y dio a luz otro hijo, a quien llamó Simeón,
porque dijo: «El Señor
oyó que yo no era amada y me ha dado otro hijo».
34 Después quedó embarazada por tercera vez y dio a luz otro hijo, a quien llamó Leví,
porque dijo: «Ciertamente esta vez mi esposo sentirá cariño por mí, ya que le he dado tres hijos».
