Genesis

Genesis 29:33–34

³³Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.^c

³⁴Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.^d

Footnotes

c 29:33 Simeon probably means one who hears.
d 29:34 Levi sounds like the Hebrew for being attached to or feeling affection for.
