NETBible

So Leah became pregnant¹ and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,² for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition.³ Surely my husband will love me now.”

NET Notes

¹tn Or “Leah conceived” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35).

²sn The name Reuben (רְאוּבֵן, rÿ’uven) means “look, a son.”

³tn Heb “looked on my affliction.”

³sn Leah’s explanation of the name Reuben reflects a popular etymology, not an exact one. The name means literally “look, a son.” Playing on the Hebrew verb “look,” she observes that the Lord has “looked” with pity on her oppressed condition. See further S. R. Driver, Genesis, 273.
