Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”

And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said,“ Because the Lord has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”

So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ The Lord has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me.”

And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ The LORD has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now.”

Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said,“ Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”

Then we cried out to the Lord. He is the God of our people who lived long ago. He heard our voice. He saw how much we were suffering. The Egyptians were treating us badly. They were making us work very hard.

And they believed. They heard that the Lord was concerned about them. He had seen their suffering. So they bowed down and worshiped him.

The Lord said,“ I have seen how my people are suffering in Egypt. I have heard them cry out because of their slave drivers. I am concerned about their suffering.

Look at how I’m hurting! See how much I suffer! Take away all my sins.

But the God of my father was with me. He is the God of Abraham and the God Isaac worshiped. If he hadn’t been with me, you would surely have sent me away without anything to show for all my work. But God has seen my hard times. He has seen all the work my hands have done. So last night he warned you.”

“ The Lord has done this for me,” she said.“ In these days, he has been kind to me. He has taken away my shame among the people.”

When night came, they stopped. One of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey. He saw his money in the top of his sack.

Maybe the Lord will see how much I’m suffering. Maybe he’ll bring back to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse I’m hearing today.”

“ Reuben, you are my oldest son. You were my first child. You were the first sign of my strength. You were first in honor. You were first in power.But you are as unsteady as water. So you won’t be first anymore. You had sex with my concubine on my bed. You lay on my couch and made it‘ unclean.’

Later, Reuben came back to the empty well. He saw that Joseph wasn’t there. He was so upset that he tore his clothes.

While Israel was living in that area, Reuben went in and slept with Bilhah. She was the concubine of Reuben’s father. And Israel heard about it. Here are the 12 sons Jacob had.

So after some time, Hannah became pregnant. She had a baby boy. She said,“ I asked the Lord for him.” So she named him Samuel.

The angel of the Lord also said to her,“ You are now pregnant and will have a son. You will name him Ishmael, because the Lord has heard about your suffering.

Reuben heard them talking. He tried to save Joseph from them.“ Let’s not take his life,” he said.“ Don’t spill any of his blood. Throw him into this empty well here in the desert. But don’t harm him yourselves.” Reuben said that to save Joseph from them. He was hoping he could take him back to his father.

Reuben was the oldest son of Israel. But he slept with his father’s concubine. By doing that, he made his father’s bed“ unclean.” That’s why his rights as the oldest son were given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel. So Reuben isn’t listed in the family history as the one who had the rights of the oldest son.

She made a promise to him. She said,“ Lord, you rule over all. Please see how I’m suffering! Show concern for me! Don’t forget about me! Please give me a son! If you do, I’ll give him back to the Lord. Then he will serve the Lord all the days of his life. He’ll never use a razor on his head. He’ll never cut his hair.”

Yet he heard them when they cried out. He paid special attention to their suffering.

Here are the names of Israel’s children and grandchildren who went to Egypt. Jacob and his whole family are included. Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son.The sons of Reuben were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.

Reuben replied,“ Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn’t listen! Now we’re being paid back for killing him.”
