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.”
He brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters – all his descendants.
The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Now these are the names of the men who are to help you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
May Reuben live and not die, and may his people multiply.
