The Children of Jacob
31 When the Lord asaw that Leah was unloved, He bopened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name1 Reuben; for she said, “The Lord has surely alooked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”
33 Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I am1 unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” And she called his name2 Simeon.
34 She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called1 Levi.
35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she called his name aJudah. Then she stopped bearing.

Genesis 29:33
They were joined to each other in sexual intercourse. There is no doubt at all about that. But their lives were not together and she full-well knew that. She thought that each time that she had a child, and that child turned out to be a son, that it would cause Jacob to turn his affections toward her. But it did not, because through it all Jacob continued to show favoritism toward the one that he loved.
